Archiving a talk page is a quick and easy process.

Step 1

Enter the edit view of the talk page and copy all of the content you wish to archive.

Step 2

Choose a page to be an archive. Normally, it would be "(namespace) talk:(pagename)/archive"

Once you do this, paste the content on the page and add {{Archive}} to the very top of the page.

Step 3

Remove the content from the talk page, leaving an edit summary saying something like "archiving talk page"

That's all!
