If all the archives of a talk page are numbered (/Archive 1, /Archive 2 etc.), you can use the auto parameter to display links to them all automatically. Choosing the yes option will list the archives with numbers only:

Alternatively, if you want longer and more visible links, try:setting the auto parameter to long since this will give a prose version; all other parameter values will trigger the numerical yes format above.
