Usage
It is customary to periodically archive old discussions on a talk page when that page becomes too large. Bulky talk pages may be hard to navigate, contain obsolete discussion, or become a burden for users with slow Internet connections or computers. Notices are placed at the beginning of the talk page to inform editors of an archive.
There are multiple ways to organize archive pages, but the simplest way is to number them starting from 1. Archive pages should be created as subpages of regular pages, such that a page "Foo" would have its first archive page in "Foo/Archive 1".
