| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Bump. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Bump}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
Purpose
This is a wrapper for the invisible template {{do not archive until}} that is used to prevent bots archiving a discussion thread. It produces a visible message that the thread has been bumped. It will auto-sign the notification. It changes the default number of days until auto-archival to 30.
Parameters
The template takes two optional parameters:
The first integer parameter specifies the minimum number of days before archiving. Supplying this parameter does two things:
- it overrides the default of 30 days (not 3560 days, the default of the underlying {{do not archive until}} template)
- it specifies the number of days in the message (if the parameter is omitted, the template will not output a number of days)
The second text parameter allows for extra text to go after the main text, perhaps an explanation for why the bump occurs. You can set it independently of the first parameter with |2= or |note=.
