Usage

This type of archiving is done by SpBot (not by ArchiverBot). 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

Syntax error in JSON.

"Archive" parameter variables

You can use the following variables in your archive-parameter:

variable meaning
((year)) year e.g. 2024
((month:long)) full monthname e.g. February
((month:short)) short monthname e.g. Feb
((month:##)) month as two digits e.g. 02
((week)) week date as a number e.g. 15, 4 (per ISO 8601/DIN 1355-1)
((week:##)) week date as a two digits e.g. 15, 04 (per ISO 8601/DIN 1355-1)

((half-year:I)) half-year as uppercase Roman numeral e.g. II
((FULLPAGENAME)) The namespace + page name of the current page. Same as {{FULLPAGENAME}}, but with normal brackets. Use this instead of hard coding your page name.

Example: archive=((FULLPAGENAME))/Archive/((year))((month:short))

Example

The following example is derived from the archiving setup of Wikipedia:Redaktion Chemie. All marked/tagged sections with level 2 (that is ==) will be archived seven days after placement of Template:Section resolved. 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=[[Special:PrefixIndex/{{subst: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 are important for recognition of the timestamp. The default format specified by MediaWiki is sufficient (11:55, 25. Aug 2024 (UTC)). It corresponds to the following structure:

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

Other formats are not supported.

Error lists

Talk pages containing errors in their main templates or {{Section resolved}} are shown in the following lists and on the corresponding talk page.
