Great job on these boxes! I did notice that I could not use the auto=yes or auto=long templates on approved articles because the talk is now in the /Draft/Archive_1 space rather than just /Archive_1 space. I ended up using the hand version, but thought you would probably want to know that. --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D.

The archive box template should also be placed on the archive pages to ensure it is easy to navigate between the different archives, current talk page and main article. The archive box to the right can be used to toggle between the four different archives and the Template talk:Archive box page.
Approved templates

- You can use it for approved or regular aticles, but you need to use "approved=yes" in the template in addition to the "auto=yes or long" for an approved article. See here for examples. Chris Day (Talk) 11:50, 25 March 2007 (CDT)
