 | 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]
