OneClickArchiver allows you to instantly archive a single discussion with a click, via an "archive" link that displays for each section on discussion pages.

Noticeboards and other high-traffic discussion pages, normally archived automatically by bots, have gotten long and less manageable recently due to bot instability. OneClickArchiver was created to better enable experienced editors to clear out old discussions themselves, without having to rely on bots. Any discussion page can be set up to use OneClickArchiver.

Use of this tool does not obviate your responsibility to understand when archiving a thread is appropriate. In particular:
  • Public noticeboards should only be archived by experienced editors. Respect a public page's posted archiving policy; if you are unsure, ask.
  • It is rarely appropriate to archive threads in another user's talk page

To-do list for OneClickArchiver: edit·history·watch·refresh· Updated 2019-08-16


Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
  • Recently completed requests:
    • Add an optional confirmation step.
      • Added a user.option that allows the script to be toggled on or off instead. Achieves the same goal as the request in a better fashion.

Archive page

This script uses a page's MiszaBot configuration (see User:MiszaBot/config) to determine the archive page. You can enable OneClickArchiver support on a page without a MiszaBot configuration (such as your own user talk page) by using {{Archive basics}} and including its two required parameters. Clicking the archive link on pages without a MiszaBot configuration or {{Archive basics}} (with both required parameters) will not successfully perform an archive.
