*Some guidance needs to be provided about what carries over into the new month. For example, when archiving June 2006 should the new current events list include any events from June after the archival process is complete? I ended up guessing that just a day's worth should be carried over but I heard at least one complaint about that. Likewise for deaths — do we wipe the slate clean or should a few deaths from the previous month still be listed? I chose to list deaths from the second half of last month in current events, expecting them to be trimmed back each week that passed in the new month. For all other sections, I kept ongoing items and items labeled recent, dropping the rest.

*The list of months supplied at the top (sort of a calendar browsebar) includes links to [[currentmonth]] [[currentyear]] in front of the links for each month of the current year. It seems redundant to have that there but if it's supposed to be there, it should be specified in these instructions.

*The {{template|Events by month links}} template must also be updated and is not mentioned.
