Template:Archiving

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

__EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__

Usage

Use this template on a talk page when you are archiving it to prevent edit conflicts (like {{in use}}). This is only necessary if you are doing something complicated, such as move archival or archiving multiple sections one at a time. This template is merely a polite request; if left in place for an extended period of time, other editors should feel free to remove it.

If archiving a section, use:

{{archiving|section=yes}}

TemplateData
