==Archiving==
Archive only complete level-two topics with a valid <nowiki>{{Governance closed|date=YYYY-MM-DD|outcome=...}}</nowiki> marker, once at least 30 days have elapsed since the recorded closure date. Open discussions must remain on the hub even when stale. A missing or invalid closure date, unclear outcome or reopened topic needs human review and must not be archived automatically. If a new post is added after closure, remove the closure marker and reopen the topic before any bot archiving.
 
Use a subpage of the original hub named <nowiki>/Archive YYYY-MM</nowiki>, using the month of archiving. For example, Village pump topics archived in November 2026 go to [[<code>Elite Dangerous Wiki:Village pump/Archive 2026-11]]</code>. Help desk and Bot requests use the same naming pattern beneath their own hub.
 
Move the entire topic, including its heading, closure, signatures and all subsections, without changing its text. Check that the complete topic is present in the archive before removing it from the hub. Preserve existing archive content and check for duplicates. Keep archive pages readable and link back to the original hub. The hub's archive index lists these subpages.
