You have to archive by moving, not copy-pasting. This gives me a good excuse to ruin your talkpage's trendy cleanness.Entrea  [Talk]  21:30, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Oh, fine. Regardless of what happens, that's what you're supposed to do. Or someone needs to change the special:move message. In any case, I was going to fix it, but someone reverted me before I had the chance. Oh well, I still get to destroy the trendiness with an archiving rant.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea  [Talk]  21:35, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Strangely, when you fail to do a proper move, you get a big message saying Please do not manually move the article by copying and pasting it; the page history must be moved along with the article text.  Not when you're blanking a page, no. When you try and do it the right way, but are unable to, that is the only time this message appears.Entrea   [Talk]  21:38, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes it is. Sometimes. Ish.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea  [Talk]  23:08, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Use common sense, people. The history has not been purged (unles those of some users who had theri userpages deleted by admins instead of blanked, so there's no archive at all, not even on the wiki). Is there policy that you have to archive your talk? I thought on your user and talk page you pretty much free to do what you please; it's a wiki, after all everyone can go look at the historic versions to see past content. Actually, Shadowphoenix, that's what you should do: replace your archive with a link to Archive (June 5th 2008). Oh, and Entrea, I'm counting on your support for my upcoming GW:RFAQL (Revert first, ask questions later) policy. --mendel 23:24, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
