Why has this been subpaged?
Why has this been subpaged? It's not very long. Please put it back, whoever removed it. Thanks. – How do you turn this on (talk) 23:02, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * This will get very long, and it will help maintain the history. I can probably cite 2 or 3 other examples off-hand.  MBisanz  talk 23:03, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Endorse MBisanz's decision. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 23:04, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * See also Administrators' noticeboard/Giano, Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents/IRC Admins' Abuse, and Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents/Rockpocket block of Giano II.  MBisanz  talk 23:05, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I can cite several examples where people were complaining about it being subpaged. But you're right. – How do you turn this on (talk) 23:05, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * So we're moving threads to subpages now as soon as we think it might get long? And why is the page transcluded to WP:AN? I thought the whole point of moving threads to subpages is to make AN shorter? I'm confused. --Conti|✉ 23:23, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll move it off to a linked section of AN as it gets longer, but for these large large threads that are likely to be used at RFAR as evidence, keeping the edit history together is a nice feature.  MBisanz  talk 23:27, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with that, actually, but I don't think it's very useful if we only do it for a thread here and there. --Conti|✉ 23:31, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
