CBP tp

Erm... why did you do this? - wolf 10:44, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Documentation on the evolution of a page should be saved. deisenbe (talk) 11:49, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
It was saved, and still is, on the archive page, where is belongs. What makes this strange is, you appear to be somewhat familiar with archiving, and your very own talk page has been archived onto 15 pages. And apparently, you even have a bot all set-up to do it for you. How can you not be familiar with this? (Unless someone else set all that up for you.)
Anyway, like many, many articles on WP, CBP's talk page is manually archived. It's common on the slower pages. This post has been there for over five (5) years. It was well overdue to be archived, and that is what I did. I even added "arc", an abbreviation for "archiving", to the edit summary. Now what makes this even stranger, is that despite the edit summary, and the archive box right there at the top of page, and all the archiving on your very own page... it didn't occur to you that the post was simply archived. It also didn't occur to you to simply ask me why I (apparently) just deleted that post. Nope, instead you go right to revert button, and tack on a somewhat dictatorial summary, ordering me to "Leave documenation on the page".
You're not new. You've got a lot of years and a lot of edits on this project, so I don't really get why you did this. But, at this point, I don't care. Your revert was clearly an error. I'm going to correct it, and then we can the go about our separate ways. Cool? Cool. Have a nice day. - wolf 13:13, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
