Further template category notes

This category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces.

To add a template to this category:

If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add
[[Category:Archival templates]]
to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add
<noinclude>[[Category:Archival templates]]</noinclude>
to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

Wikimedia Commons has media related to Archival templates.

Templates in this category are used to archive policy debates, deletion debates, and discussions in the talk namespaces.
