Archive: Lists itself

As @Milo told me in the comments, the problem lies in the fact, that the archive template shouldn’t be applied to a page, but left untouched.

That way WordPress will still know which template to use for displaying an archive but you can’t access the template itself, which means it will not display itself in the query.
