Form customization also provides a powerful tool for making many policy
management tasks easier (see @{article:User Guide: Customizing Forms}).
+
+Archiviation
+============
+
+Like most things in real life, sometime also a project tag or a milestone
+can become not useful anymore, maybe because they reached their deadline,
+maybe because their investor was actually a scam, maybe because your
+boss created a nonsense project by mistake with their faulty mouse, etc.
+
+In general, in most cases, we strongly recommend to archive projects instead
+of destroying them. First, because Phorge does not encourage killing life forms.
+Second, because keeping track of which colleagues worked on legacy projects
+is generally useful. Third, because the alternative is destroying projects
+from the command line, but destroying things is generally very scary,
+very unsafe, not recommended. In the other hand, archiviation is in
+general very stable, well-tested, safe, encouraged, reversible, and full of
+satisfaction. Some Phorge instances also start smelling of peach fragrances,
+after you archive your first project.
+
+People who can {nav icon=pencil,name=Edit} a project can also
+use the {nav icon=ban,name=Archive} action.
+
+Archived projects will generally avoid to distract you, but they will preserve
+their past glory. For example:
+
+- archived projects are de-prioritized from most search selections,
+ including the top search bar, including tag pickers, etc.
+- archived projects are unlisted from the active list at /project/query/active/
+- archived projects are generally kept where they had been placed, but are
+ generously de-colorized from their tag badges, or stroked
+- archived projects are muted, do not cause extra "watch" notifications
+
+All the following consequences are reversible. You can turn a project back
+to life anytime using the {nav icon=check,name=Activate project} action.
+
+If you need to hide a project from the eyes of your delicate coworkers,
+you can also evaluate changes in the project visibility, to show it only to
+you, or only to some coworkers that still have love for archived materials.
+
+If at this point we still haven't convinced you to archive your projects,
+enjoy the next scary section.
+
+Permanently Destroy
+===================
+
+Phorge is designed as a safe collaborative platform that rarely
+allows to permanently destroy things from the web interface. But...
+there are still uncommon circumstances were you may want to afford
+all the risks in the wild and not recommended world of
+@{article:Permanently Destroying Data}.
+
+What happens when you permanently destroy a project (including a milestone)
+using the command line:
+
+- the project is destroyed permanently, forever (unless you have a good backup)
+- all objects (such as tasks, repositories, etc.) to which you set visibility
+ restrictions like "visible to: members of THAT TAG" may immediately become
+ completely invisible from the web interface and API results
+- tagged stuff is generally preserved, including tasks, commits,
+ wiki documents, events, repositories, etc. and these objects will simply
+ be not associated anymore with that project tag (but will remain associated
+ with other tags, of course)
+- users that are members of the destroyed project are preserved but
+ they are unassigned from that project
+- watchers of the destroyed project are preserved but they may need to find
+ something else to look at
+- if the project has a workboard, that workboard is destroyed as well
+ (tasks in that workboard will be kept and will remain associated
+ with other workboards, of course)
+- if the project has direct milestones, these milestones are destroyed as well
+ (note that milestones are technically projects, so, read aloud this list
+ again to understand what will happen to these milestones, and to stuff
+ associated to these milestones, etc.)
+- if the project has a parent project, and if that parent will not have other
+ children projects anymore, that parent may be promoted to root-project again.
+ This means you will probably be able to directly edit the members of the
+ parent project, again.
+- if the project has sub-projects, all sub-projects and all their descendant
+ sub-projects will climb the tree depth by one level, to still have sense
+ and still be preserved. Grandchildren become children. Sons become parents,
+ etc. - a real mess for family photos.
+- you increase the risk of something totally unexpected happening, like, your
+ entire datacenter may be destroyed by a rebel fleet of Slugma Pokemons
+ out of recursion control.
+
+So, please consider just simply archiving projects instead of destroying them.
