Line 1:
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.
For example, to archive [[Current events]] or [[Current sports events]] on July 1 2004:
# 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.
# 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# Edit last month's article, [[June 2004]] or [[June 2004 in sports]], to reflect the fact that it's no longer current.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.
