'''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 [[WikipediaPortal:Current events/How to archive Portal:Currentthe eventsportal]].'''
 
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.
