Template:Archive box/doc
Usage
Include the archive box in the talk page by adding
{{Archive box|[[/Archive]]}}
to where you want the archive box to appear. Substitute [[/Archive]] with the actual name(s) of the archive page(s) and make sure to add the forward slash '/'. How you present a list of archive pages is up to you. You can e.g. separate them with commas or format them as lists. You can also use [[wikipedia:WP:PIPE|piped links. See #Examples 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.
Box width
The box width can be set by using the box-width= parameter:
{{Archive box|box-width=13em|[[/Archive]]}}
{{Archive box|box-width=200px|[[/Archive]]}}
The standard width when this parameter is not used is 238px.
Image
For the standard image, the width can be adjusted by using the image-width= parameter:
{{Archive box|image-width=35px|[[/Archive]]}}
The image can also be changed from the default using the image= parameter. Please note that if you're using a changed image, the width of that image can not be adjusted with image-width=. Instead, set the image width using normal image syntax, for example:
{{Archive box|image=[[Image:Crystal Clear app file-manager.png|35px]]}}
Examples
For actual examples of the use of this template, use the what links here link in the toolbox on the sidebar.
