Forum:Forum archives

I've seen this on some forums (including this one) where old topics are marked as an archive after x days, which disables editing. I've looked over the help page, but I can't find anything about it. So how do you archive a topic? --D. (talk · contr) 20:11, September 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * I believe they do that automatically after some time. Duskey ( talk ) 22:19, September 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * The forum header template automatically puts the message about it being an old topic up. its built into the header notice - See Here. Dont think it actual stops editing being possible its just to discourage posts to 'old' topics that are nolonger active & the original poster(s) has probably long since forgotten about. Is that what you mean by 'archived' on the central Forum here, as i'm not aware of a separate archive page being created like is often created for talk pages, (often using a sub page). ? - BulldozerD11 23:27, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's what I meant. Fandyllic explained it on my talk page. --D. (talk · contr) 23:41, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
