The {{Arkiver}}
template may be used to add a box containing page links to archived discussions. It will automatically detect archived pages by default if they are named appropriately, eliminating the need to manually update the box each time a new archive page is created.
{{Arkiver| archivelist = /arkivliste| auto = <short|long|no>| index = /Archive index| search = <yes|no>| list = | target = | collapsible = <yes|no>| collapsed = <yes|no>| style = | title = | image = | alt = | link = | bot = | age = }}

".alt
is nonempty, it defaults to the image's file page.link
, alt
should be nonempty too, and should indicate what will happen if the user clicks on the image.{{FULLPAGENAME}}/
. Use prefix if the additional of a trailing slash is not desired.By default (with no explicit parameters), the archive list presented in the box is determined automatically. If a subpage called "{{PAGENAME}}/archivelist
" exists, it will be used as the central content of the box. For an example, see Talk:Evolution, which draws from Talk:Evolution/archivelist.
If no archivelist subpage is detected, numbered archive subpages will be listed in long format. Such pages must be named as "/Archive #" because other naming styles will not be detected. If no subpages are found, the archivebox will contain only the "About" and "Edit" links, with the Edit link targeted at "{{PAGENAME}}/archivelist
", which can then be used to begin manually populating the list, if desired.
If the "auto
" parameter is specified, the "Edit" link is removed. The "long
" auto format (the default) indicates "Archive 1", "Archive 2", and so on. The "short
" auto format indicates only the archive number. See more examples below.
If an archive list is specified, the name of the subpage is changed; otherwise, the behavior is the same.
An archive list can also be passed in the first unnamed parameter avoiding the need for a subpage.
Using "auto=no" will disable archive auto-detection. Manually specified archives will still be shown.
The "auto
" and "archivelist
" parameters are not intended to be used together. (Doing so removes the edit link, but will still use the specified archive list page if it exists.)
The auto-generated archive list requires subpages to use the common naming convention. That is, "{{PAGENAME}}/Archive 1", "{{PAGENAME}}/Archive 2", and so on. The letter "A" must be capitalized, there must be a single space between the word "Archive" and the number, and there must be no leading zeros. If archive subpages do not conform to this convention, they can be renamed to conform, or a manual list can be maintained.
Specifying "auto
" with any right-hand-side value other than "long
" or "no
" results in the short-format list; the use of "short
" as the value just makes things more obvious to others.
The short and long auto lists are generated by {{archive list}} and {{archive list long}}, respectively. They are limited to a maximum of 100 and 36 subpages, respectively. Beyond those limits, additional subpages will not be listed. In such cases, a manually generated archive list subpage would need to be created and maintained.
