Template:Archive list long/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Archive list long.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

This template is based on {{archive list}}, but produces a longer three-column list, suitable for up to 36 archives.

This template can be used on any talk page or discussion archive, and will return links to all the numbered archives of that page or its parent page.

In order for the template to work, the archives must be numbered as described in WP:ARCHIVE. An example is Talk:PAGENAME/Archive 1, with a capital A, a space before the number, and no leading zeros.

This template should not be substituted or it cannot update itself whenever a new numbered archive is added.

This template can be used with {{archive box}} to produce a box of numbered archive links without entering them all manually. To do this, use {{archive box|auto=yes}}.

Warning: only up to 36 archives are accepted by this template.
