Help:Archiving a talk page: Difference between revisions

A template should be placed at the top of each archive page indicating that it is an archive. The simplest such template is {{tl|Talk archiveArchive}}. If the page is using sequentially numbered archives, you can instead use {{tl|Automatic archive navigator}} which will add navigation links to earlier and later archives ([[Talk:2009 flu pandemic/Archive 5|example]]).

ClueBot III and Lowercase sigmabot III will automatically place {{tl|Talk archiveArchive}} on archive pages they create. They can be configured to use other templates using the <code>header</code> and <code>archiveheader</code> parameters, respectively. For example (for ClueBot III), {{para|header|{{tlf|Automatic archive navigator}}}}.
