Forum:Help on Archiving a page

Using this archive box template, as the default archive box template, and I want to expand it to more archive box slots without having it to show up on other places that have this archive box tagline on it. I can do it, however, it will have a slight problem on it, that is when I add another archive box slot to the main archive box template and it will show up on all related pages that have this template tag on it. Is there a way, a simple way, to do this without complicating things a bit and how would I do this without creating a huge problem? PLease help. Sundogs 13:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)


 * What the template was designed for, as far as I can see, was listing the archives of a page in the parameters of the template. So that, rather than just  on w:c:ewrestling:Template:Main Page News you'd have   and have   show them. But I see you're trying to list them all on the template itself. Hmm... If you were sure they would all be the same naming scheme, you could use numerical parameters, like:


 * And, possibly an autodetection method could be done with #ifexist, but this has 3 problems: caching, server strain, and limited expandability. --Splarka (talk) 02:55, 5 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, I am so lost. I am using the some one that I gave in my first post and I liked your idea. I did indeed tried your way on the template that I am using, but, all I got was a messed up template, and how would I use this template with your idea without a messing it up? Please forgive me for the lack of knowing how to do this. Is there any other simple ways to do this? Sundogs 13:41, 5 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Oops, lemme go get a map and compass. Okay: I changed it a little bit, so now it accepts 1 parameter, and defaults to just showing 1 archive if no parameter is supplied.
 * For one archive:


 * For two archives:


 * For three archives:


 * Etc. --Splarka (talk) 02:39, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
