Talk page auto archive magic[edit]

Archiver instructions • Indexer instructions

Place the following in the intro section of the talk page. If TOC needs to be explicitly placed, place it after any small boxes.


{| class="messagebox small-talk" style="width: {{{box-width|238px}}}"
|Note: It may take 24 hours or longer before archives and index become active.
|}

{{User:HBC Archive Indexerbot/OptIn
|target=Wikipedia talk:CHANGEME/Archive index
|mask=Wikipedia talk:CHANGEME/Archive <#>
|leading_zeros=0
|indexhere=yes
}}

{{User:MiszaBot/config
| algo                = old(30d)
| archive             = Wikipedia talk:CHANGEME/Archive %(counter)d
| counter             = 1
| maxarchivesize      = 150K
| archiveheader       = {{Automatic archive navigator}}
| minthreadstoarchive = 1
| minthreadsleft      = 4
}}

{{talk header|bot=lowercase sigmabot III|age=30|units=days}}

{{AutoArchivingNotice
|small = yes
|age   = 30
|index = ./Archive index
|bot   = lowercase sigmabot III
}}

{{archives
|small = yes
|index = /Archive index
}}

Initialize the index subpage (redlink) with the following:

<!-- HBC Archive Indexerbot can blank this -->
{{notice|This page will be replaced with an index the next time [[User:HBC Archive Indexerbot|]] runs.  That may take 24 hours or longer.}}
