Template:Talk archive/doc

This is the {{talk archive}} message box.

It can be placed at the top of archive pages. But some users like to place it both at the top and the bottom of the archive pages.

Note! Do not subst this template!

Usually this template needs no parameters. But you can add an optional parameter to specify a different link to the "current talk page", for instance in cases of page renames/moves or if it's a subpage. Like this:

{{talk archive|Talk:Newtalkpage}}

If you want to specify a date range for the period covered, you can use |period=March 2006 to April 2007 (as an example) as an optional parameter. The period parameter is freeform so you can use whatever format you like.
