Trump archival
[edit]Hi there. My interpretation of #13 is that that shouldn't have been manually archived since there was discussion after the closure, and it matters not that the discussion appears to have gone quiet for now. But it was within a few days of auto-archival anyway, so I won't revert you. Heads up for future ref. Cheers, ―Mandruss ☎ 08:32, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
