purpose of archiving talk pages
[edit]Hello! I noticed your discussion with User:Redrose64 over at the Mekons (via Lowercase sigmabot III's archive how to). I think it worthwhile to explain the purpose of archive bots and what "archived content" means generally. (Read more WP:ARCHIVE)
- The reason talk pages get archived periodically is to keep talk pages manageable. That is, reasonably short. It's a matter of clarity and getting a good overview. Talk pages with dozens and dozens of discussions is just hard to maintain and keep track of.
- Therefore, once a discussion ceases activity it is often archived - that is, moved from the main talk page into an archival subpage. To avoid manually having to deal with this, archive bots were created. They handle routine tasks like checking talk pages for "old" discussions much better than humans. Their help is highly appreciated by the Wikipedia community.
- Talk discussions that are archived are not lost, they're archived. Anyone can always visit the archived talk discussions and read them, even from tens of years ago. These archives are clearly linked to from the main talk page.
- Also, Wikipedians prefer it if older discussions stay closed, which archiving helps with. It is better to archive an old discussion so it is not "left open" for anyone to simply resume. If you really want you are more than welcome to open a new discussion and link to the old archived one, because you feel you want to revisit its topics. The mere fact you need to start a new topic and summarize your position is a bit of a hurdle and that is a good thing. It turns out this gently discourages people from simply posting in old discussions as if they're still active. They're not. The people might have found other areas of interest. The editors from one or ten years ago might not even remain as active Wikipedia editors!
So you see I understand you are acting in good faith when you took it upon yourself to disable the archive bot and revert its changes. But in actual fact you are disrupting the normal intended working of Wikipedia. I would therefore like to ask you to stop.
Please understand that archive bots are doing good work that Wikipedians want done. There is no good reason to keep discussion topics open even after a year of no replies. These should be archived. In fact, many many Talk pages archive much faster than on a yearly basis. Most common is probably 30 days, but some high-traffic pages archive after as little as 3 days or perhaps even less.
Please read WP:ARCHIVE before making further alterations to archive pages or archival bots. You are entirely free to not do so, but please then abstain from changing things you do not fully understand. You are more than welcome to ask questions over at the Teahouse, our friendly place for newcomers. They will help you and answer any questions you might have. Feel entirely free to point them to comment upon this message of mine if you want a second opinion on what's what.
Now. I need you to understand your actions, while I'm sure made with the best of intentions, will be considered disruptive if you continue. Sometimes editors have good intentions, but are not competent enough to edit in a net positive manner. They create work that others have to clean up. (Source: WP:COMPETENCE)
I wish you the best and look forward to many useful contributions from you. Cheers, CapnZapp (talk) 09:50, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
