Forum:Performing the first major archive of Panopticon threads

The past few days I've taken on the laborious task of archiving the panopticon pages. I've left the ones that are under three months alone as discussed. There are two things I'd like to point out though.
 * 1) Some of the forums, especially the earlier archived ones, contain red links. I've tried my best to remove them as I see them, but there will be some I have missed. These will need to be removed in order to properly maintain the wanted pages list properly instead of having people creating unneeded articles etc. Also, some of the later pages have the annoying &nsp etc thing, which may be annoying, but doesn't particularly need removing.
 * 2) Secondly, I want to discuss the three month limit. I think that some of them should be eligible for archiving once they have been discussed. If the discussion comes to a close then it should be archived then, instead of having to wait. Such an example is Forum:Should first incarnation etc be redirects?.

I'd like opinions on these points, particularly the second one. I'll be moving onto either the Howling or the Reference desk in the next few days. --The Thirteenth Doctor 23:35, August 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yep, things that are answered and closed can be archived sooner than the 2 month wait, I've noted this into the Tardis:Discussion policy.
 * Red links wise, admins often go through lists of redirects checking and deleting unused ones, wanted pages users often go through trying to find ones that are interesting to edit or checking their 'what links here', you've done a good job checking as you've gone through, the out-lying ones will be caught either as people go through the archives, or as people erroneously create articles or through other pages being created and people checking for links etc. --Tangerineduel 13:36, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
