Suggestion for Time Increase
I once again suggest that the archiving system be changed so that posts are archived after 14 days rather than the current practice of archiving after just 7 days. Pablothepenguin (talk) 15:55, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- I support your idea; seven days just seems like too short a time. Occasionally, it takes me that long to notice a query (suppose it's on the 6th day), think about it, formulate an answer in my head, check sources (or dates or spellings), and then post what I hope is a coherent, accurate, informative and pertinent reply. The drawbacks of cluttering the Table of Contents are somewhat counteracted by having enough different topics that nearly every reader will find at least a couple that match his or her interests, expertise or prior exploration. —— Shakescene (talk) 16:56, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
