Why is this a problem? Many of the user talkpage archives I've been making are for users who don't even edit here any more. Are people just going to make threads to criticise necessary wiki maintenance actions now?

Not to mention, the talkpages don't belong to the editor, they're community pages, so it's quite right that any other user can perform maintenance tasks on them, such as archiving them.

The purpose behind some of the archives was to clean up my own personal list of talkpages which haven't been archived, which you can see here: User:SuperSajuuk/DPL. Some of the talkpages in that list could probably be deleted and not archived.

As already said, the majority of the content that is being archived is ancient discussions. Under archive policy, old and resolved discussions can be archived, so that is what I am doing: archiving old and resolved discussions, the size of archive doesn't matter.

As for the Tsukuyomi talkpage, there were only a small number of headings, but I didn't check the size of some of the topics, hence why the single archive is huge. I'll fix that later. But this topic is pointless, user talkpages don't belong to the user, the only page that semi-belongs to a user is their actual user profile page and subpages of it.

As for the issue that a talkpage will be left blank, the vast majority of talkpages on the wiki are not used. In fact, talkpage discussions are extremely limited and I don't expect that to be changing any time soon. So a talkpage having nothing on it except a list of talkpage archives is generally a non-issue, given many of them will not be used again.

If this thread has been made due to someone's personal grievance with my edits (which I really suspect that it was and I highly suspect this thread will just become a "complain about Sajuuk for no reason" thread), then this is a waste of people's time: you could have just brought this to my attention on my talkpage. But I guess we all know you like drawing pointless attention to something I do, than just asking politely on my talkpage about a very isolated issue.
