Template:Archivebox basic

This a basic archive box for the purpose of displaying links to archive pages for talk pages and the like. The template should be used in the following format: 

The page where the text is archived should have the following text in the intro: This is an archive of old comments from the Talk:PageName page. Do not edit or reply to any comments here. Newer material should be archived at the bottom of the page, in chronological order by first comment in each section.

Archive boxes should be used on talk pages that are long and include topics that have already been resolved or are otherwise no longer relevant, so that those topics can be stored for later reference. Comments on talk pages should not simple be deleted, unless they are user talk pages, and in that case it is up to that individual user whether he/she wants to archive their talk page comments or not. Generally it is recommended that you should archive user talk page comments as well.

Note: Once the ParserFunctions extension is added to this wiki, the Template:Archives, Template:Archive box, and other relevant templates should be added and used instead of this template.
