Template:Autoarchive resolved section/doc

Usage

This type of archiving is done by SpBot (not by Bot873 or SassoBot). It requires the use of either {{section resolved}} or the timeout parameter of this template (normal archiving).

It does not matter where the template "Section resolved" is placed within the section. It will always refers to the last/previous heading of the section to be archived.

To quickly use a standard setup to archive your user talk page, see #Example.

Template parameters

Template parameters
Parameter		Description	Type	Status
age	`age`	Parameter 'age' defines the required age of the the template ''Section resolved'' in days. After this amount of days the section will be archived.	Number	required
archive	`archive`	You can use variables in your 'archive' parameter as [[#.22Archive.22_parameter_variables\|listed below]]. Example: 'archive=Talk:Some page/Archives/((year))/((month:short))' (just an example, not really used there)	String	required
overview	`overview`	The parameter 'overview' can be used to display a link to the location of the archive page.

Page name	optional

Example code: <code><nowiki>latest archive=[[Wikisource:Forum/Archiv/2016/October]]</nowiki></code> Results in: The latest archive is located under '''[[Commons:Forum/Archiv/2016/October]]'''. Default	Page name	optional
show	`show`	The parameter <code>show</code> defines if the template should display anything or not: <code>show=yes</code> or <code>show=no</code>. This parameter can be used if the template is used on a page which has an own intro explaining the archiving parameters. Default yes	String	optional
level	`level`	Parameter 'level' defines which heading level should be archived. Deeper heading levels are treated as part of the specified level. Default 2	Number	optional
timecompare	`timecompare`	This parameter specifies which timestamp should be used for distribution into the archives. In the parameter 'archive' you can use variables referring to the date. 'timecompare' defines which timestamp is used for this parameter 'archive'. 'timecompare = resolved': Timestamp given by {{Section resolved}} Any other value or empty: the oldest timestamp of the whole section Default [empty]	String	optional
timeout	`timeout`	Specifies the number of days have to pass by to consider a section as 'resolved' automatically, even if no {{Tl\|Section resolved}} template was set.

Example

The following example is derived from the archiving setup of commons:Commons:Village pump. All marked/tagged sections with level 2 (that is ==) will be archived one day after placement of Template:Section resolved. The archives are at commons:Special:PrefixIndex/Commons:Village pump. The archiving will be done to /Archive/2017/January if the first comment in this section was made in January.

{{Autoarchive resolved section
 |age=1
 |archive=((FULLPAGENAME))/Archive/((year))/((month:##))
 |overview=[[Special:PrefixIndex/{{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}/Archive|Archive]]
}}

That will look like this:

SpBot archives all sections tagged with {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} after 1 day. For the archive overview, see archive.

Signature format

The date and time part of the signature are important for recognition of the timestamp. The default format specified by MediaWiki is sufficient (11:55, 22. Dec 2024 (UTC)). It corresponds to the following structure:

{{subst:LOCALTIME}}, {{subst:LOCALDAY}}. {{subst:LOCALMONTHABBREV}} {{subst:LOCALYEAR}} (UTC)

Other formats are not supported.
