Frequently when I search for something in the Wikipedia, user, talk, or user talk space, I get a bunch of archive entries that I really am not interested in, that blot out the topics I am looking for.
So I propose the creation of an Archive namespace. Instead of of Wikipedia:Administrators' Noticeboard being archived as Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive120 it would become Archive:Wikipedia:Administrators' Noticeboard120. Article talk pages like Talk:George W. Bush/Archive 2 would become Archive:Talk:George W. Bush2 and so on.
Then if a user was looking for something old, they could click to search the Archive space. It could still be wiki-linked as with our current archive boxes and would help clean-up the various spaces.MBisanz talk 02:33, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Also depending on what we wanted to do, it could be semi or write protected as a namespace, to prevent vandalism of past discussion. MBisanz talk 02:42, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
