Template:Archive header/doc

Usage

{{archive header}}

This template is placed at the top of a discussion archive page.

This template will automatically add the date the archive page was created if the archive page title is either <''current discussion page''>/Archives/<''date''>, or (if there is no index) <''current discussion page''><''date''>. The date format is yyyy-mm-dd (one of {{#time:Y}}, {{#time:Y-m}}, or {{#time:Y-m-d}}). For example, Wikisource:Scriptorium/Archives/2020-01.

This template also applies the magic word __ARCHIVEDTALK__
