Template:Archive basics

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used to provide an archive name and counter number to Technical 13's (Original by Equazcion) OneClickArchiver (Original) script, on pages where a {{User:MiszaBot/config}} configuration doesn't exist, or does not contain a numeric counter. This template and OneClickArchiver work with archives that end with a number. It does not work with archives that do not end in a number (e.g. archives organized by year/month).

Examples

Example 1:

Example 2 if you want to cut & paste for numbered archives:

Because User:Equazcion/OneClickArchiver.js is extremely sensitive for case and spaces and some people haven't yet upgraded to the version that doesn't care about case and spacing, there is a shortcut template to make it even easier for you to apply this. Simply change the number "1" to whatever number you want to start with for a counter number:
