Template:Autoarchive resolved section/doc
Template for automatic archiving.
For the target (archive) only its current notation is valid. This type of archiving is done by SpBot (not by ArchiverBot).
Usage
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 last/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.
To quickly use a standard setup to archive your user talk page, see Template:Autoarchive resolved section/usertalksetup (see own description).
The template takes no parameters.

Example
See also: Template:Autoarchive resolved section/usertalksetup
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: 16:14, 11 August 2024 (UTC), also with abbreviated month: Aug. 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.
