Usage
{{Autoarchive resolved section

|archive=

}}
The use of the template works only in combination with the Template:Section resolved. The "standard" archiving by MiszaBot can be used in parallel.
It does not matter where the template "Section resolved" is placed within the section. It will always refers to the last/previous heading of the section to be archived.

Example
The following example is derived from the archiving setup of Wikipedia:Redaktion Chemie. All marked/tagged sections with level 2 (that is ==) will be archived seven days after placement of Template:Section resolved. The archive is at Wikipedia:Redaktion Chemie/Archiv. The archiving will be done to Wikipedia:Redaktion Chemie/Archiv/2007/Januar if the first comment in this section was made in January.
{{Autoarchive resolved section
|age=7
|archive='((FULLPAGENAME))/archive/((year))'
|overview=[[Special:PrefixIndex/{{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}/archiv|archive]]
|show=yes
|level=2
}}
That will look similarly to:
 |
SpBot archives all sections tagged with {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} after 7 days. For the archive overview, see Archive/. The latest archive is located at Archive/2013.
