Archiving is often done automatically by a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Bots" title="Wikipedia:Bots">bot</a>. Step-by-step instructions to set up automated archiving can be found at <b><a href="/wiki/Help:Archiving_(plain_and_simple)" title="Help:Archiving (plain and simple)">Help:Archiving (plain and simple)</a></b>. There are two main bots that archive talk pages: </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/User:ClueBot_III" title="User:ClueBot III">User:ClueBot III</a> will create archives based on the parameters set using <a href="/wiki/User:ClueBot_III/ArchiveThis" title="User:ClueBot III/ArchiveThis">User:ClueBot III/ArchiveThis</a>.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/User:Lowercase_sigmabot_III/Archive_HowTo" title="User:Lowercase sigmabot III/Archive HowTo">User:Lowercase sigmabot III</a> will create archives based on the parameters set using <a href="/wiki/User:MiszaBot/config" title="User:MiszaBot/config">User:MiszaBot/config</a>.</li></ul> <p>Archives can also be created manually. Manual archiving can be done <a href="/wiki/Help:Archiving_a_talk_page/Manual_archiving" class="mw-redirect" title="Help:Archiving a talk page/Manual archiving">by hand</a> by cutting and pasting from a talk page to an archive subpage. <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:One_click_archiving" title="Wikipedia:One click archiving">One click archiving</a> streamlines this process by adding an archive button to all talk page sections. </p><p>Only noticeboards and talk pages are archived because both can become very long. The <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines#When_to_archive_pages" title="Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines">talk page guidelines</a> suggest archiving when the talk page exceeds 75 KB (or 75,000 bytes) or has multiple resolved or stale discussions. Older discussions that are still relevant can be summarized and linked using the <code>{{<a href="/wiki/Template:FAQ" class="mw-redirect" title="Template:FAQ">FAQ</a>}}</code> template. Archiving one's own user talk page is preferred but optional; some users simply <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BLANKING" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BLANKING">blank the page</a>. </p> <div id="toc"

For example: </p> <ul><li>The 20th archive of <a href="/wiki/Talk:Earth" title="Talk:Earth">Talk:Earth</a> would be named <code>Talk:Earth/Archive 20</code></li> <li>The first archive of <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Example" title="User talk:Example">User talk:Example</a> would be named <code>User talk:Example/Archive 1</code></li></ul> <p>Remember to use the correct namespace – the part before the colon (<code>:</code>) – when archiving your own user talk page. It should start with "<code>User talk:</code>", not "<code>Talk:</code>". </p><p>Alternatively, archives are often named chronologically.

Only sections with dates that are older than 90 days (2,160 hours) will be archived, although the five sections with the most recent contributions will be retained on the talk page no matter how long ago the last contribution was added. If archives for the page already exist, then set the counter/numberstart parameter to the next archive number in the series. </p><p><span class="anchor" id="FULLPAGENAME"></span>Warning: the magic word <b>{{SUBST:FULLPAGENAME}}</b> is replaced by the talk page name when the template is saved to a talk page. However some punctuation characters that can appear in a page name (<code>"&'</code>) are replaced by HTML character codes that are not recognised by the bots (see <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:PAGENAMEE_encoding#PAGENAME" class="extiw" title="mediawikiwiki:Manual:PAGENAMEE encoding">mediawikiwiki:Manual:PAGENAMEE encoding#PAGENAME</a> for details about these and other characters). For example <code>'</code> is replaced with <code>&#39;</code> (so if the bot is to work then <code>&#39;</code> must be replaced with <code>'</code>). This can be circumvented by using <code>{{SUBST:#titleparts:{{SUBST:FULLPAGENAME}}}}</code> to automatically sort the encoding. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Example_with_archives_by_year_and_month" data-mw-thread-id="h-Example_with_archives_by_year_and_month-Automated_archiving"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Example_with_archives_by_year_and_month-Automated_archiving"></span>Example with archives by year and month<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Example_with_archives_by_year_and_month-Automated_archiving"></span></h3></div> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th colspan="2">Archives by year/month </th></tr> <tr> <th><a href="/wiki/User:Lowercase_sigmabot_III/Archive_HowTo" title="User:Lowercase sigmabot III/Archive HowTo">lowercase sigmabot III</a></th> <th><a href="/wiki/User:ClueBot_III#How_to_archive_your_page" title="User:ClueBot III">ClueBot III</a> </th></tr> <tr style="vertical-align:top;"> <td> <p>Note: In this configuration lowercase sigmabot III puts threads into archives based on the last date in each thread.

The purpose of archiving article talk pages should be to remove stale discussions, not to stifle discussion. Article talk page threads should not typically be archived in less than 30 days except for very busy talk pages. </p><p>The <code>maxarchivesize</code>/<code>maxarchsize</code> parameter determines how large each archive is allowed to grow before a new archive is started. Keeping this value larger than a typical talk page allows the archives to be browsed more easily, but increases page load times. Each individual archive should not be larger than 512kB, because this may cause accessibility problems for some devices. Because a large batch of threads can "overshoot" the <code>maxarch[ive]size</code> parameter, the parameter should always be set lower than the maximum acceptable archive size. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Category:Pages_where_archive_parameter_is_not_a_subpage" data-mw-thread-id="h-Category:Pages_where_archive_parameter_is_not_a_subpage-Automated_archiving"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Category:Pages_where_archive_parameter_is_not_a_subpage-Automated_archiving"></span>Category:Pages where archive parameter is not a subpage<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Category:Pages_where_archive_parameter_is_not_a_subpage-Automated_archiving"></span></h3></div> <p>One limitation of the way automatic archival instructions are set up is how page moves will easily break the functionality.

data-mw-comment-end="h-For_archive_pages-Templates"></span></h3></div> <p>A template should be placed at the top of each archive page indicating that it is an archive. The simplest such template, which is automatically added (using its earlier names) by ClueBot III and Lowercase sigmabot III, is <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Archive" title="Template:Archive">Archive</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span>. If the page is using sequentially numbered archives, the template will add navigation links to earlier and later archives (<a href="/wiki/Talk:2009_flu_pandemic/Archive_5" class="mw-redirect" title="Talk:2009 flu pandemic/Archive 5">example</a>). The archiving bots can be configured to use templates like this using the <code>header</code> and <code>archiveheader</code> parameters, respectively. For example (for ClueBot III), <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|header=<span class="nowrap">{{Archive}}</span></code>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="For_talk_pages" data-mw-thread-id="h-For_talk_pages-Templates"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-For_talk_pages-Templates"></span>For talk pages<span data-mw-comment-end="h-For_talk_pages-Templates"></span></h3></div> <p>There are many templates that can be placed on talk pages to make the page's archives visible and accessible to editors. These can be broadly divided into "boxes" (which generally appear floating to the right of the table of contents), and banners. Some pages use one or the other, and some use both. Templates dedicated to archiving should generally be <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:TALKORDER" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:TALKORDER">placed last</a>, after all other talk templates, but before the discussions proper. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Archive_link_boxes" data-mw-thread-id="h-Archive_link_boxes-For_talk_pages"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Archive_link_boxes-For_talk_pages"></span>Archive link boxes<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Archive_link_boxes-For_talk_pages"></span></h4></div> <p><span class="anchor" id="Archive_box"></span> On regularly archived talk pages, it is useful to have an "archive box" template. Common usage is to place the archive box below other header templates and before the first section heading so that the box appears to the right of the <a href="/wiki/Help:Section#Table_of_contents_(TOC)" title="Help:Section">table of contents</a>. If the page already has a manual archive box, add the link to the new archive page to it. If there is no archive box yet, you may want to set one up. </p><p>The most common archive box template is <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Archives" title="Template:Archives">Archives</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span>. It has a significant number of options. The <code>auto</code> option causes the box to automatically find your archive page list. If <code>auto=yes</code> or <code>auto=short</code> the links are shown as "<code>1, 2, 3</code>". If <code>auto=long</code> the links are shown as "<code>Archive 1, Archive 2, Archive 3</code>"). If the archives do not follow the standard naming scheme (/Archive #), or date labels are desired a manual list can be inputted in the first unnamed parameter as seen in example 2 below.

An archive index, when one exists, is typically stored on the page <code>Talk:YourPage/Archive index</code>. While it is possible to generate an index by hand, the <code>/Archive index</code> page is normally generated automatically. There are two bots which automatically create indexes: <a href="/wiki/User:Legobot" title="User:Legobot">Legobot</a> and <a href="/wiki/User:ClueBot_III" title="User:ClueBot III">ClueBot III</a>. </p><p><a href="/wiki/User:Legobot" title="User:Legobot">Legobot</a>, formerly <a href="/wiki/User:HBC_Archive_Indexerbot" title="User:HBC Archive Indexerbot">HBC Archive Indexerbot</a>, can create an archive index page based on a set of archives. See <b><a href="/wiki/User:HBC_Archive_Indexerbot#Instructions" title="User:HBC Archive Indexerbot">the bot's instructions</a></b> for details on how to set up archive indexing. Legobot generated archive indexes are the most commonly available type of index. To set up Legobot archiving you have to create your <code>Talk:YourPage/Archive index</code> page and <b>need to place</b>:<br><code></code><br> on top of the index page.
