UDWiki talk:Open Discussion/Administrative Archives

This is all a spin-off of a discussion that's been taking place on A/MR. I was in a bit of a rush, so I didn't thoroughly edit or proof this write-up, and I apologize if I've misstated anything or overlooked something obvious. Anyway, I welcome any constructive feedback or suggestions for how it should be reworked. We've already redone a few things, so I expect more changes will occur.

Also, as a quick note, when I say that this will replace the current system, I am indeed suggesting that we move/rename all of the relevant pages (and in the case of A/M, also break the cases up into individual pages, rather than having them stored by year). I expect that this would be a project that would take several days, if not weeks, so I'd imagine that we'd roll out the new system in phases, that way we never double-up on archives. For instance, A/BP could easily be changed to this system first, then we could move over A/DM and A/RE. A/M and A/PM will doubtless take the most time. All of the old pages would likely remain as redirects until we fix links (assuming we do so at all). —Aichon— 01:12, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Oh dear. I fear no one really cares whether they are consistent or not. Well, I don't. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't be for changes. I'd just prefer someone just do them without asking for approval. Dragons are a bit more fun to watch than rabbling. A ZOMBIE ANT 09:20, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

It's not so much asking for approval as it is asking for if anyone has any better ideas before we go ahead with what we have. —Aichon— 14:47, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
