{{main|Help:Archiving a talk page/Details#Manual archiving}}

The most basic way to [[/Manual archiving|manually archive]] a page is to [[Cut and paste|cut the material]] from the talk page and [[Cut and paste|paste it]] into an archive. If no archive exists, you will need to create a new subpage. Create the archive subpage at <code>Talk:Example page/Archive N</code> where "N" is either "1" or the next positive [[integer]]. Alternatively, you may occasionally wish to create a topical archive, and use an appropriate name for a topic-specific archive (for example <code>Talk:Example page/Place of birth debate</code>). When an archive subpage becomes too large, new archives can be created as needed.

When manually creating an archive, add {{tlx|Archive}} to the top of each archive page. If an archive box doesn't already exist on the main talk page, add the line {{Tlx|Archives}} below the WikiProject tags. For the full list of archiving templates, see [[:Category:Archival templates]]. For step-by-step instructions, see [[/Manual archiving]].
