| File:Edit-copy green.svg | 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. |
| 40x40px | 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 be output as a second sentence, after the main text. As an example perhaps an explanation for why the bump occurs. You can set it independently of the first parameter with |2= or |note=.
