Documentation The documentation below is transcluded from Template:Archive header/doc. (edit | history)

[purge]

Displays a banner and a navigational {{archive-box}}, to be used at the top of archive pages.

Usage

{{ archive header | nobox = y (optional) }}

nobox

Suppress display of the {{archive-box}}.

All {{archive-box}} parameters

The template supports all parameters that are available for {{archive-box}}. For convenience reasons, it will attempt to fetch the values of the three critical parameters $basepage, $title, and $1 automatically from the {{archive-box}} call on the base page (or a /header subpage of it; support for multiple {{archive-box}} calls, like on Terraria Wiki:Admin noticeboard, is included), but this may fail, in which case it will be necessary to set these parameters in the {{archive header}} on the archive page.

Notes

• A common issue is that on the base page, the first unnamed parameter of the {{archive-box}} is set to something like the following:

|* [[/Archive 1|First archive]]
* [[/Archive 2|Second archive]]

Since the {{archive-box}}es in the {{archive header}} on these archive subpages will copy that parameter value, the links will not work correctly there. Therefore, make sure to put a complete link instead of the [[/ abbreviation.
