==Sequential archives== Cutting and pasting the text to be archived into a new page is considered the best method for archiving a talk page. When archiving old discussions, it is customary to leave current, ongoing discussions on the existing talk page. In some cases, a header text is also preserved. For example, to archive the discussion on the talk page of this article: :1. Start at the Talk page. :2. Click on "Edit this page". :3. At the top of the edit area, type in: ::<nowiki>[[Help talk:Archive/Archive 1]]</nowiki> :4. Click on show preview. :5. Once the preview is on your screen, highlight the desired text in the edit box. :6. Cut the desired text from the page using CTRL-x or the cut command in the menu bar. :7. Click on the red coloured "Help talk:Archive/Archive 1" that is in the preview text. This will open a new page with an empty edit area. :8. Paste (using CTRL-v or the paste command in the menu bar) the desired text into the new page ("Help talk:Archive/Archive 1") and the click on "save page". :9. Finally, place a link to the archive on the talk page. In due time, you would end up with a sequence of archives files named ''Archive 1'', ''Archive 2'', ''Archive 3'' and so forth.
