WikiAlpha's Community portal talk page

Arching dos and don'ts

Someone archived the long series of discussion, from July 2011 to November 2021, to WikiAlpha:Community_portal/Archive_1, using a move Sorry, but, IMO, this was absolutely the wrong way to archive discussion pages. Why? Because the revision history is now only accessible from the archives, when it should remain on the original page. It makes trying to look at diffs of previous discussion very confusing. IMO archiving should be done with a cut and paste, which keeps all the revision history on the original fora.

I know that an administrator should be able to go through a series of steps, that merges the histories of two pages, that would correct this mistake. I would take those steps, except I don't know how to do it. Geo Swan (talk) 01:07, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

I restored an old version of this page

At least five of the 6 edits here were made in good faith. Made in good faith, but, mistakenly, in the wrong place. So I rolled back to the last good version of this page, by User:WritingSnowman
