2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Template:Request archive

[edit] [purge] Documentation

Usage

Information icon.svg This template should always be substituted, i.e. use {{subst:Do not archive until}}.

This is an inverted wrapper for the invisible template {{do not archive until}} that is used to prevent bots from archiving a discussion thread.

Rather than attempting to bump the thread, this template should be substituted as a comment on threads that have no signature in them. It places a hidden signature on the thread that is dated 30 days before the saved date. In most cases, this should ascertain archival. Due to a quirk in how the archiving bot works, threads with no valid date in them will not be archived. This template, unlike Template:Bump, on which it is based, accepts no arguments.

{{subst:Request archive}} produces:

Requesting thread archival. -- Example (talk)
