: 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'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.

:*[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.

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.

: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 (though I'm not resilient to disputes/reversions, as "relevance" can be a sticky subject). I'm OK with use of archive pages to preserve irrelevant discussion, if we can't agree on the former direction.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 06:52, 23 June 2011 (CEST) P.S.-Thanks for all you're recent assistance on the wiki, it's very appreciated.
