WikiProject Colonialism was redirected and is no longer a project or task force. Gonnym (talk) 09:59, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

 * User:Joe Roe, why did you do that?
 * I think the default action should be to redirect all subpages of WikiProject Colonialism to WikiProject Colonialism. That is, archive all subpages as redirects to the redirect.  Is there a reason not to? SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:06, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * There was a consensus to do so at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject History. Sorry, I forgot to add an edit summary. I've no objection to redirecting all the subpages. I retained some because the might be of historical interest and others because they have no incoming links anyway so it didn't seem worth the hassle. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 11:18, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks. By default, I think it’s better to preserve history of anything ever used, unless it should never have been created.  However, if someone, especially someone from the WikiProject,  has a rationale for deleting over archiving (history behind redirects), then I have no objection to deletion.  I think wikiarchiology is a good thing to be allowed to happen, and that deletion requests should give at least lip service to why archiving is not a good idea.

 * Keep per User:Joe Roe. Archive. SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:02, 9 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep for historical purposes. This userbox is displayed on the user pages of a few users who are no longer active and therefore unlikely to replace it now that the wikiproject no longer exists. Keeping it serves to preserve their user page as it was and to help anyone who happens to come across them find out where the former WikiProject Colonialism now resides (via the redirect to WikiProject History). –&#8239;Joe (talk) 11:22, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
