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)
