Archiving talk pages

There are a few methods for archiving talk pages. This is the one that I use.

If you look to the left hand side of the page, there is a "toolbox" section. Find the link there named "Permanent link" and right click on it. If you are using Firefox, select "Copy link location. If you are using IE, select "Copy shortcut".

Edit the talk page and remove all of the content that you want to archive. Then enter something like Archive: [<paste the link you copied here> 1]. Save the page.

When you look at the page, you will now see a link that takes you to the old version of the page. This maintains the full discussion history for people to view if they are interested. --GraemeL ^(talk) 13:52, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merging

Odds are good that major contributors will have the pages you are proposing be merged on their watchlists, so if you place {{mergeto}} or {{mergefrom}} on the page, they will probably come comment on the proposal at the relevant talk page. If no one says anything initially, then leaving a few notes requesting comment on the talk page would definitely be a good idea.

I'm not clearly visualizing what you're asking in your other question about expanding the list though. Could you show me specifically what you're talking about? — MC MasterChef :: Leave a tip — 22:24, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, ok, it's a little deeper story, and for simplification i left out the details. I actually had a username on wikipedia before this one, but it was very common on the net, including someone else having it passworded on freenode, so for simplification i am starting a new one. but my old one was Pojo, and you can read (and i'm seeing this one thing through under that name) Talk:List_of_MMORPGs to see what i'm talking about

Ah, I think I see what you mean now. I don't really do any work on lists on Wikipedia so I'm probably not the best person to advise you here, but in my experience most "list" articles are just that: bulleted article links. I would definitely agree with Jean-Phillipe's advice to you to go ahead and add this information to the individual articles, but if you'd also like to present an overview table of information, I don't see why you couldn't create a List of 3D MMORPGs by statistics or something similarly-titled, which could in turn be linked to from that List of MMORPGs article and presumably the MMORPG article itself. There is a Computer and video games Wikiproject here, that you might consider asking at, to get more perspective from users who share a similar interest in the topic.

Hope this helps! — MC MasterChef :: Leave a tip — 04:22, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, that is very helpful. I'm just too new to know whether it is approrpriate to have two lists that target the same information. my worry would be that they don't have the same items for one reason or another, but knowing that it is ok will be helpful. i actually have been working on some other articles in Computer and video games while waiting for responses on this, so i will definitely ask there. thanks --Duozmo 09:21, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

MMO list

I saw your notes on the last of MMORPGs talk page about turning things into a table. I would be happy to hand over the work that I've already done. It's in OpenOffice format and not trivially converted for Wikipedia, but it shouldn't be too hard. If you would like we can talk about it, just leave a note on my talk page with some way to get in touch - email and/or IM. Cheers --Duozmo 21:06, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah i'd like to take a look at what you've done so far. Send me an email or reply on my talk page. Cheers, Jacoplane 22:49, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:MysticalNinjaEnd.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:MysticalNinjaEnd.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Non-Free rationale for File:LtRushing.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:LtRushing.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under Non-Free content criteria but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a Non-Free rationale.

If you have uploaded other Non-Free media, consider checking that you have specified the Non-Free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:58, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
