{{main|CZ:Talk Pages#Archives}}
This template can be used on article or user talk pages. How you present a list of archive pages is up to you. You can separate them with commas, pipes (vertical lines: '|') or as lists. See further [[#Examples]] below.


Include the archive box in the article by adding
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Wikitext !! Appearance
!Wikitext!!Appearance
|-
|-
|<pre>{{Archive box|
|<pre>{{Archive box|
[[{{BASEPAGENAME}}/Archive 1|Archive 1]]}}</pre>
[[{{TALKSPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}/Archive 1|Archive 1]]}}</pre>
|{{Archive box|
|{{Archive box|
[[{{BASEPAGENAME}}/Archive 1|Archive 1]]}}
[[{{TALKSPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}/Archive 1|Archive 1]]}}
|}
|}
to where you want the archive box to appear. Make sure to add the forward slash '/' to the archive name to make it a subpage of the page where the archive box is placed. How you present a list of archive pages is up to you. You can separate them with commas, pipes (vertical lines: '|') or as lists. See [[#Examples]] below.


=== Placement ===
This template can be also placed on all the archived pages to make it convenient to toggle between the different archives and the current talk page. For an example, see this pages [[Template talk:Archive box|talk page]] and the four example archives associated with this template.
 
==Parameters==
The different variable parameters available for this template include:


The box uses a style that makes it float to the right. This means that where it appears in the page it will be aligned to the right edge of the page (more accurately: the containing box, but that is an unnecessary detail) and all following content will flow around it.
:[[#Automatic links|auto =]] (for automatic archiving)
:[[#Box and image parameters|box-width =]] (for adjusting box width)
:[[#Box and image parameters|image-width =]] (for adjusting image width)
:[[#Box and image parameters|image =]] (for customizing the image)


These parameters can be used in combination and are described more fully with examples below.


=== Automatic links ===
=== Automatic links ===


If all the archives of a talk page are numbered (<tt>/Archive 1</tt>, <tt>/Archive 2</tt> etc.), you can use the <tt>auto</tt> parameter to display links to them all automatically:
If all the archives of a talk page are numbered (<tt>/Archive 1</tt>, <tt>/Archive 2</tt> etc.), the Archive box will link to them all automatically. The default option will list the archives with numbers only:
{| class="wikitable"
! Wikitext !! Appearance
|-
|<pre>{{archive box|auto=yes}}</pre>
|{{archive box|auto=yes}}
|}


The list will update itself when new archives are added. If there are also named archives, you can add links to these as well.
Alternatively, if you want longer and more visible links, try:setting the <tt>auto</tt> parameter to '''''long''''' since this will give a prose version; all other parameter values will trigger the default format above.


If there are less than 20 archive pages, and you prefer a larger two-column output, set the <tt>auto</tt> parameter to "long", all other parameter values will trigger the above format, so if you want longer and more visible links, try:
The list will update itself when new archives are added. If there are also named archives, you can add links to these as well. See the additional links shown in the third archive box option below.

Placement

The box uses a style that makes it float to the right. This means that where it appears in the page it will be aligned to the right edge of the page (more accurately: the containing box, but that is an unnecessary detail) and all following content will flow around it.


Usage

For more information, see: CZ:Talk Pages#Archives.

This template can be used on article or user talk pages. How you present a list of archive pages is up to you. You can separate them with commas, pipes (vertical lines: '|') or as lists. See further #Examples below.

Wikitext Appearance 
{{Archive box|
[[{{TALKSPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}/Archive 1|Archive 1]]}}
1, 2, 3, 4

This template can be also placed on all the archived pages to make it convenient to toggle between the different archives and the current talk page. For an example, see this pages talk page and the four example archives associated with this template.

Parameters

The different variable parameters available for this template include:

auto = (for automatic archiving)
box-width = (for adjusting box width)
image-width = (for adjusting image width)
image = (for customizing the image)

These parameters can be used in combination and are described more fully with examples below.

Automatic links

If all the archives of a talk page are numbered (/Archive 1, /Archive 2 etc.), the Archive box will link to them all automatically. The default option will list the archives with numbers only:

Alternatively, if you want longer and more visible links, try:setting the auto parameter to long since this will give a prose version; all other parameter values will trigger the default format above.

The list will update itself when new archives are added. If there are also named archives, you can add links to these as well. See the additional links shown in the third archive box option below.

Wikitext Appearance
Just using the simple archive box.
{{archive box}}
1, 2, 3, 4
This example uses the long option for prose and numbers.
{{archive box|auto=long}}
This example uses the long option for prose and numbers. In addition, archives that have a non standard name can be added to the bottom.
{{archive box|auto=long|
[[{{TALKSPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}/Archive1|December 2005 - January 2006]] and
[[{{TALKSPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}/Deletion discussion|Deletion discussion]]}}

Box and image parameters

Wikitext Appearance
The image can be changed from the default, Image:Logo200gr.jpg, for example: 
{{Archive box
|image=Image:Heckert_GNU_white.jpg}}
1, 2, 3, 4
The box and image widths can be adjusted from the default settings by adding their widths as parameters: 
{{Archive box
|box-width=13em
|image-width=35px
|image=Image:Heckert_GNU_white.jpg}}
1, 2, 3, 4

Examples

Here are several different examples of how hyperlinks to talk page archives can be displayed in the archive box.
