Wikipedia:Active editing
The term active editing is created to initiate a new form of maintaining talk pages at the Wikipedia. Hereby all talk-items are open for debate, but temporary, inactive and closed items will be stored as soon as possible in the archive. If people want to continue talking about these items, they have to make a new talk item at the talk page to continue.
This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump. |
More details about archiving are to be found at:
- Wikipedia:How to archive a talk page: this tells mainly about two ways of archiving, with move or with copy-past.
Active editing for the moment is an experiment in new forms of cooperation. It's created because in lots of talk pages, things remains unarchived for years. There is still little know-how and explicit ideas on how to act in these circumstances. By creating and using this term, we[who?] like to initiate discussion and improvements at this point.
