How to archive[edit]

Copy-pasta[edit]

Copy-paste this at the top of a talkpage: 

{{Talkpage/Pibot
|algo=old(30d)
|archive={{subst:NAMESPACE}}:{{subst:PAGENAME}}/Archive%(counter)d
|maxarchivesize=100K
|search=yes
}}

This will archive sections that have been inactive for 30 days. Change "30d" for other times; "24h" for 24 hours, "60d" for 60 days, etc.

Prevent archiving[edit]

The easiest way is to add (sticky) at the end of a section title. EG: 

== Hi there (sticky) ==

You can also add a fake timestamp to a section. EG, the below prevents the bot from archiving until the 1st of December 2017 plus whatever you set |algo to: 

<!-- Prevent Archive 21:09, 1 December 2017 (UTC) -->

Bot info[edit]

archivebot.py[edit]

To respect sticky threads, archivebot.py is edited:
