Archiver is a user script for semi-automatically archiving multiple talk page sections at a time. The script doesn't require manually typing archive pagename in most cases.

How to install

edit

On English Wikipedia it is recommended to install this script using the script-installer gadget, which can be turned on at:

Preferences → Gadgets → Advanced →   Install scripts without having to manually edit JavaScript files (documentation) (direct link)

Then you can go back to this page and click the big blue "Install" button in the infobox.

To install the script on another wiki, use the following snippet:

mw.loader.load('https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=User:Andrybak/Scripts/Archiver.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');
