Describe the bug

I've disabled most archive methods (e.g. SAVE_MERCURY=False), but when adding a new link to the archive the archive method selection field still shows the disabled methods. You can select them, but of course they just do not work.

Actually I'd expect, that disabled methods do not appear in this list.
