New use?
I reckon we used this to link Main Page/Videos and Template:MainPageVideo . As the main panel uses the archive panel, and people will click on it, I decided to revive this page.. to make sure people don't get on a page when they press that link on the main page. Let me know if that is frowned upon as Costanza would say it. --Jun (talk) 06:50, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
