I have set archive setting for this page. The dealt is 5 days (refer to WP:BN). I am welcome any IA to reset archive setting to proper setting, cheers Hhkohh (talk) 15:18, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
- 5 days is far too short for the amount of traffic this page gets. I have set it to 60 days and restored the archived-too-soon material. See Help:Archiving a talk page, which says
- "The best age for threads to be archived will vary, depending on talk page activity. The purpose of archival on article talk pages should be to remove stale discussions, not to stifle discussion. Article talk page threads should not typically be archived in less than 30 days except for very busy talk pages". (emphasis added).
- @Guy Macon and Cyberpower678: Think that 20 days is better because I saw Cyberpower678 always use archive tool to archive earlier Hhkohh (talk) 11:55, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
- I am OK with 30 days, but Help:Archiving a talk page says not to go lower than that for automatic archiving. I still think it should be 60, but can live with 30.
- The threads Cyberpower678 are archiving are a different situation. He archives things when they have been resolved. If someone requests a change and the change gets made, there is no reason not to archive it early. I would not want him to stop doing this valuable cleanup work. --Guy Macon (talk) 15:42, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
- Let's call it 30. It's not like we're being flooded with new threads every day. On the other hand, if nobody comments on a thread in 30 days, I think it's safe to say the discussion has finished. Deryck C. 10:50, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me. --Guy Macon (talk) 14:17, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
