Manual:Pywikibot/archivebot.py/en

archivebot.py is a script used to archive discussion pages.

Usage
Bot examines backlinks (Special:Whatlinkshere) to TEMPLATE_PAGE. Then goes through all pages (unless a specific page specified using options) and archives old discussions. This is done by breaking a page into threads, then scanning each thread for timestamps. Threads older than a specified threshold are then moved to another page (the archive), which can be named either basing on the thread's name or then name can contain a counter which will be incremented when the archive reaches a certain size. For a documentation on on-wiki setup, please see.
