Forum:Archive warning

More often than not, I see people asking questions that have been thoroughly discussed, needlessly creating a new and useless discussion about topics which at the time of the new discussion are already exhausted. I find that to be very dispersive and unhelpful, since they never make the topic clearer, as only new information would do that. I suggest adding a warning to all article talk pages which have archives on them, instructing people to actually search for a likely discussed topic before creating it. This needs to be something that is properly enforced, because I'm sure some will simply not bother doing so. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:07, November 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Can't expect people to read an archive that isn't on the current talkpage :\ — S im A nt 00:42, November 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * I know this isn't a perfect solution, but it could stop those cases of when the archive is about the current talk page. If I had any idea on how to make people read the archives of all talk pages related to the subject, I'd suggest it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:45, November 23, 2011 (UTC)
