Updating this page

First of all, don't update this page! Only update it if you don't have anything better to do. This page is not updated whenever single entries are pruned. That would be a form of instruction creep, which is very bad: it creates more work for maintainers who could be spending their time actually improving articles.

That being noted, if you still want to update this page:

1. Move the discussions from the main featured log page to the appropriate archive(s).
2. List each article discussion here in chronological order.
3. Change the date in the lead section.
