 * `description` - Sets the description of the rss feed if one is generated.
   Defaults to the name of the wiki.
+* `archive_after` - If more that this number of items are in the list then
+  the older ones are not shown in full. e.g. `archive_after="3"` will show the
+  newest 3 items in full, and any older than that will just have their titles
+  shown. Setting this value to 0 disables this behaviour. Has no effect if 
+  either `raw="yes"` or `archive="yes"`.
