Archiving

Hello. It appears your talk page is becoming quite lengthy and is in need of archiving. According to Wikipedia's user talk page guidelines; "Large talk pages become difficult to read, strain the limits of older browsers, and load slowly over slow internet connections. As a rule of thumb, archive closed discussions when a talk page exceeds 75 KB or has multiple resolved or stale discussions." - this talk page is 537 KB. See Help:Archiving a talk page for instructions on how to manually archive your talk page, or to arrange for automatic archiving using a bot. If you have any questions, place a {{help me}} notice on your talk page, or go to the help desk. Thank you. --Jax 0677 (talk) 16:15, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I archive manually and that takes time and effort. Checking others, I find that EEng is about 1110K and DGG is about 740K. The latter has topical archives and that's a format that I like so I'll be comparing notes to see how they manage their larger talk pages. I don't want to invest too much effort into a custom format though because the WMF is working on this too and WP:TPC19 may provide a general solution. Apropos the AfD, I do like Canned Heat's On the Road Again which is on my cycling playlist. Recommendations of other good tracks are also welcome. Andrew D. (talk) 18:11, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your talk page has 404,142 bytes of markup. Please archve most of it (and do so regularly). Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:09, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I spent some time in the New Year period setting up a suitable structure and archived or cleared about 150K. Andrew🐉(talk) 11:59, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
