Lists of past games in setup threads.
As I was weighing the options of wether or not to join the game that's currently open for signups - I thought to check out it's past games just to quickly realize that I'd have to go search the archives for it and wonder if ever turned someone else off from joining a game. Probably not.
Adding lists of links of past games to all approved setups and update setups after future games - I think is not much more than a slight inconvenience, and as such perhaps worth considering?
My I'm-Lazy-Bias thinks it's a brilliant idea.

It's hard to say no to that, since it can't be bad once it's done. However, it may not be very useful. It is rather rarely needed to go dig into the Archive, and when it is needed, people just do it; that's what the search tool is for. That being said, if some good souls wish to include a list of iterations in their setup pages, they're free to do so. As you said, it's not much more than a slight inconvenience to do. It's just not something I'd put in the "priorities" list or in the "must do" one.

Don’t bother trying to populate old games but from now on it would be very low effort to do it for future games.
