Archiver is a user script for semi-automatically archiving multiple talk page sections at a time. The script doesn't require manually typing archive pagename in most cases.

How to install

{{User:Andrybak/Templates/How to install}}

Instructions

How to use the script after installation.

  1. Open the talk page you want to archive
  2. Click on "ⵙCA" (stands for "ⵙne Click Archiver") in "Tools"
  3. Click "[archive]" near the headers of sections you want to archive
  4. Click the big button "archive <number> selected threads" at the bottom of the page
  5. In the popup, check the full page name of the destination, which is calculated automatically.

= Warning =

The script does not respect {{tlg|DNAU}}.

= Destination page calculation =

To find the destination page for the archived sections, the script looks through subpages and tries to find an archive page with the highest number. Supported formats are /Archive 1 (most commonly used format), /Archive {{CURRENTYEAR}} (format for annual archives) and a similar format with slashes instead of spaces ({{nowrap|/Archive/1}}, not supported for yearly subpages). The script doesn't use templates that configure automatic archiving by bots (like {{tlg|User:MiszaBot/config}}), which is done by other similar scripts.
