Purpose[edit]

"Pin" a discussion thread (a talk page section) so it does not automatically archive. Produces a box explaining to readers the thread will remain unarchived.

Effect[edit]

This is a wrapper for the invisible template {{do not archive until}} that is used to prevent bots archiving a discussion thread. It produces a visible message that the thread has been pinned.

The pin message will remain in the thread for a long time. Please see the template documentation on {{DNAU}} for details.

Usage[edit]

Place {{subst:Pin section}} or {{subst:pinsec}} at the top of a talk page section (on a new line after the section title). For example:

== Something ==
{{subst:Pin section}}

This template must be substituted.

There are intentionally no parameters.
