This template is used to provide an archive name and counter number to Template:No ping's (Original by Template:No ping) OneClickArchiver (Original) script, on pages where a {{User:MiszaBot/config}} configuration doesn't exist, or does not contain a numeric counter. This template and OneClickArchiver work with archives that end with a number. It does not work with archives that do not end in a number (e.g. archives organized by year/month).

Template parameters

ParameterDescriptionTypeStatus
Archivearchive

WikiPath to where you want the archives stored

Stringrequired
Countercounter

Counter to be replaced in the archive path string

Numberrequired

Numberoptional

Examples

Example 1:

{{Archive basics
|archive = User talk:Username/Archive %(counter)d
|counter = 4
}}

Example 2 if you want to cut & paste for numbered archives:

{{Archive basics
|archive = {{SAFESUBST:FULLPAGENAME}}/Archive %(counter)d
|counter = 1
}}

Because User:Equazcion/OneClickArchiver.js is extremely sensitive for case and spaces and some people haven't yet upgraded to the version that doesn't care about case and spacing, there is a shortcut template to make it even easier for you to apply this. Simply change the number "1" to whatever number you want to start with for a counter number:

{{SAFESUBST:Oca|1}}
