Example[edit]
⧼seealso⧽: Template:Autoarchive resolved section/usertalksetup
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}}/archiv|archive]]
|show=yes
|level=2
}}
That will look similarly to:
 |
SpBot archives all sections tagged with {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} after 7 days. For the archive overview, see Archive/. The latest archive is located at Archive/2013.
|
Signature format[edit]
The date and time part of the signature are important for recognition of the timestamp. The default format specified by MediwWiki is sufficient (11:55, 26. Apr 2024 (UTC)). It corresponds to the following structure:
{{subst:LOCALTIME}}, {{subst:LOCALDAY}}. {{subst:LOCALMONTHABBREV}} {{subst:LOCALYEAR}} (UTC)
Other formats are not supported.
