Discussion
Is there any need to remove the template from archive pages? On the surface this seems like editing for the sake of it. Primefac (talk) 19:39, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
 * this is only removing the template from Dispute resolution noticeboard, so that discussions can be archived DannyS712 (talk) 20:21, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
 * How often does it happen? How long do these closed discussions tend to sit around before someone notices? It still seems like a solution looking for a problem. Primefac (talk) 15:07, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Pretty frequently (almost all of my edits to that page are removing the template from resoled discussions) and there isn't any downside, is there? DannyS712 (talk) 16:29, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

When complete, please post a summary of the edits here and (if not too clogged by the other edits) a link to the relevant contribs. Primefac (talk) 22:27, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
