 | This section is pinned and will not be automatically archived. |
 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Pin section}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
Purpose edit
"Pin" a discussion thread (a talk page section) so it does not automatically archive. Produces a box explaining to readers the thread will remain unarchived.
Effect edit
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 pinned.
The pin message will remain in the thread for a long time. Please see the template documentation on {{DNAU}} for details.
Usage edit
Place {{subst:Pin section}} or {{subst:pinsec}} at the top of a talk page section (on a new line after the section title). For example:
== Something ==
{{subst:Pin section}}
This template must be substituted.
There are intentionally no parameters.
See also edit
- Template:Pin message, which provides the box for this template. It should not normally be used by itself.
- Template:Bump another wrapper for {{do not archive until}}
