: I'm not sure what the best solution is, but I'd rather not delete archived discussions. I actually don't even like blanking the pages, because then you can't search the text anymore (sometimes old discussions are still relevant). Not sure, anyone else have any ideas on how we can keep track of unresolved talk page discussions? {{:User:LobStoR/sig}} 23:53, 22 June 2011 (CEST) | : I'm not sure what the best solution is, but I'd rather not delete archived discussions.

: I'd like to restrain the directly linked talk pages to relevant conversation. If you'd prefer to preserve irrelevant discussion in a searchable format I'm OK with migrating such to sub-pages, but would prefer to not having it pollute the directly linked talk pages. Generally I'd prefer to not have it pollute searches at all. I understand the desire to preserve content, but typically these deletions are completely irrelevant going forward, and sometime even cover erroneous details. | |||
:Some examples from the recent deletions... | |||
:*[http://wiki.dolphin-emulator.com/index.php?title=Talk%3ASkies_of_Arcadia_Legends&action=historysubmit&diff=3555&oldid=2330 Talk:Skies of Arcadia Legends]: Discusses a gap in revisions related to the suggested configuration, which was addressed within the page. Any further discussion regarding that config is irrelevant to the former gap in documentation, so it's unclear preserving it has value. | |||
:*[http://wiki.dolphin-emulator.com/index.php?title=Talk%3AFIFA_Soccer_2002&action=historysubmit&diff=18903&oldid=15822 Talk:FIFA Soccer 2002]: Discusses naming conventions for multi-region titles with varying names. Discussed conventions were implemented and are now documented elsewhere. History of the convention's discussion may be informative, but the relevant convention is covered elsewhere. | |||
:*[http://wiki.dolphin-emulator.com/index.php?title=Talk%3ASuper_Smash_Bros._Melee&action=historysubmit&diff=17742&oldid=17706 Talk:Super Smash Bros. Melee]: Discussion around an apparently erroneous configuration entry. Useful during the phase while the error was confirmed, but just related to apparently false information otherwise. | |||
:*[http://wiki.dolphin-emulator.com/index.php?title=Talk%3AMetroid_Prime&action=historysubmit&diff=2426&oldid=2425 Talk:Metroid Prime]: Thanks around corrections to a series of problematic edits. Useful for the period of time the editor was likely to notice it. Beyond such, it's nice to be thanked, but I don't need such preserved on the wiki and it's not useful to others stumbling onto it. | |||
:*[http://wiki.dolphin-emulator.com/index.php?title=Talk%3ADragon_Ball%3A_Revenge_of_King_Piccolo&action=historysubmit&diff=3550&oldid=942 Talk:Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo]: Discusses config issues now addressed in the recommended config, only relevant for historic purposes. | |||
:In any case, I'd like to keep Talk pages to current/relevant discussion and put irrelevant content in the bin. I understand that page deletion has an adverse effect on page histories, and will accept tagging ongoing relevant discussions with a category to avoid deletions. I'd like to keep the irrelevant discussion out of search though, and would prefer to continue to blank irrelevant discussion to do so. I'm OK with use of archive pages if we can't agree on the former direction.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 06:52, 23 June 2011 (CEST) |
