Template:Autoarchive resolved section
 | This template uses TemplateStyles: |
Usage
{{Autoarchive resolved section
|age =
|archive =
|show =
|level =
|timecompare =
|timeout =
}}
SpBot archiving requires the use of either {{Section resolved}} or the timeout parameter of this template (usual archiving like by ArchiverBot).
It does not matter where the template {{Section resolved|…}} is placed within the section. It will always refer to the previous heading of the section to be archived (see parameter level).
The template relies on a certain time stamp format, for more see in Signature format.
Template parameters
| Parameter | Description | Default | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
age | The parameter age defines the required age of the template block {{Section resolved|…}} in days. After this amount of days the section will be archived. | empty | required | |
archive | Path to archive. You can use variables in your archive parameter as listed below.Path inclusion with ASCII apostrophes (') is not necessary, but allowed for historic reasons. | empty | required | |
overview | The parameter overview can be used to display a link to the location of the archive page. Example code: overview=[[Commons:Village pump/Archive]]/ results in“For the archive overview, see Commons:Village pump/Archive.” An alternative to this parameter is the use of template {{Archive box}}. | empty | optional | |
latest archive | The parameter latest archive can be used to display a link to the current archive. The archive parameter variables can be used. Example code: latest archive=[[Commons:Village pump/Archive/2011/02]] results in“The latest archive is located under Commons:Village pump/Archive/2011/02.” | empty | optional | |
show | The parameter show defines, whether the template should display anything or not: show=yes (default) or show=no. This parameter can be used, if the template is used on a page which has an own intro explaining the archiving parameters. | yes | optional | |
level | Parameter level defines which heading level should be archived. Deeper heading levels are treated as part of the specified level.
(hint: Count the equal signs) == talk page section level II ==
==== talk page section level IV ====
(Tipp: Zähle die Gleichheitszeichen) == Diskussionsüberschrift Ebene II ==
==== Diskussionsüberschrift Ebene IV ====
| 2 | optional | |
timecompare | The parameter timecompare 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 archiving.
| empty | optional | |
timeout | The parameter timeout specifies after how many days a section without new amounts is automatically "resolved", even if no {{Section resolved}} block has been set. Archiving only takes place after the time has elapsed if this parameter has been set (and is not equal to 0). The template {{DNAU}} (similar to en:Template:Do not archive) is supported here.By setting this parameter, the behavior of ArchiverBot (see also en:User:MiszaBot/Archive HowTo) can be partially achieved. In this case, it is no longer necessary to include the current template and additionally {{User:MiszaBot/config}}, which are processed by two different bots, but only {{Autoarchive resolved section}} for SpBot. | empty | optional | |

Examples:

Example
The following example is derived from the archiving setup of dewiki’s Wikipedia:Redaktion Chemie. All marked/tagged sections with level 2 (that is ==) will be archived seven days after placement of a {{Section resolved}} block. The archive is at Wikipedia:Redaktion Chemie/Archiv. The archiving will be done to Wikipedia:Redaktion Chemie/Archiv/2007/Januar if the first comment in this section was made in January.
{{Autoarchive resolved section
|age=7
|archive='((FULLPAGENAME))/Archive/((year))'
|overview=[[{{FULLPAGENAME}}/Archive|Archive]]
}}
That will look like this:
 |
SpBot archives all sections tagged with {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} after 7 days. For the archive overview, see Archive.
|
Signature format
The date and time part of the signature is important for recognition of the timestamp. The default format specified by MediaWiki and automatically created, when ~~~~ or ~~~~~ is entered, is sufficient: 18:41, 21 November 2024 (UTC), also with abbreviated month: Nov. This corresponds to the following structure with Mediawiki variables: {{CURRENTTIME}}, {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} (UTC) (short month name: {{CURRENTMONTHABBREV}}. When directly entered these variables must be substituted (the according {{LOCAL…}} variants can be used, as well).
Other formats are not supported.
