Template:Archive

This page is an archive of past discussions. Do not edit the contents of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on the current talk page.

Usage

This template is used on archived talk and non-talk pages.

The template has multiple optional parameters:

• |1= (first unnamed parameter)  – the name of the current talk page if it is not automatically detected properly by the template or is from a different base name. Note that |currentpage= is an alternate name for this parameter.
• |period=  – adds the editorial time period the archive represents
• |diff=  – adds a link to the PermaLink of the original page at the archival time
• |histOffset=  – adds a link to the history of the page, offset with the given timestamp

Examples

With no parameters:

This page is an archive of past discussions. Do not edit the contents of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on the current talk page.

Example with (almost) all parameters: Talk:Generation X was manually archived to Talk:Generation X/Archive 1 before itself being moved to Talk:Generation X/Archive 2 as an archive, so the content of /Archive 1 was technically copied from /Archive 2. Placing {{archive|diff=29421877|histOffset=20051127232500|Talk:Generation X/Archive 2}} at /Archive 1 gives:
