'''This does not apply to the [[Portal:Current events|current events portal]], but it may apply to some of the other current events pages. For archiving the current events portal, see [[Portal:Current events/How to archive the portal]].'''
At the beginning of every month, it is customary to archive the [[Current events]] and [[Current sports events]] pages by moving them to a suitably named month (for example, [[June 2004]] or [[June 2004 in sports]]). This makes the original pages redirects, which can then be edited to record the new month's events. Moving the original pages ensures the [[Wikipedia:page history|page history]] is saved with the month, and provides a fresh history each month. It also keeps the log of older versions manageably small.
Line 5 ⟶ 9:
# Move the current page to [[June 2004]] or [[June 2004 in sports]] as appropriate.
# Edit the moved page and copy its entire contents to the clipboard.
# Switch the order of the days from reverse chronological order, the style for [[Current events]], to forward chronological order, the standard for monthly archives. Be sure to repeat this process for any subsections such as the list of deaths.
# Edit [[Current events]] or [[Current sports events]] (which is now a redirect).
# Remove the redirect, and paste in the copied text. Remove the content for June 2004 - you just want the "template" for the month.
# Update the page to reflect the new month, in this case July. Typically this means updating the calendar, starting a new list of deaths, and adding June to the "Past events by month" section.
# Create a redirect from [[July 2004]] or [[July 2004 in sports]] to [[Current events]] or [[Current sports events]] as appropriate.
# Edit last month's article, [[June 2004]] or [[June 2004 in sports]], to reflect the fact that it's no longer current. This means replacing the time/date with a list of the months in the year, linking to the appropriate events/sports events articles in each case. Also, change category references to '''<nowiki>[[Category:</nowiki>2004|*2004-06]]''' or '''<nowiki>[[Category:</nowiki>2004 in sports|*2004-06]]''' as appropriate. (See the [[Wikipedia:Categorization#Category sorting|policy on category sorting]].)
