Archive for March 2013Suggested addition to FAQMaybe this question isn't asked "frequently", but it's a question I just had which I was unable to learn by reading User:MiszaBot/Archive HowTo and User:MiszaBot/Archive FAQ. Question: How can I prevent the bot from archiving a page which already contains a MiszaBot or MiszaBot-N template? The FAQ explains how to prevent a single thread from being archived, and I could apply that method to every thread on the page, and monitor the page in case any future person starts a new thread. However, my tentative theory is that this can be done by completely removing all MiszaBot-related templates from the page. This theory is based on the supposition that your bot roams Wikipedia looking for pages with its template. If, on the other hand, your bot maintains a database of pages that have requested archiving in the past, then perhaps this method would not work, and the answer requires something else? — Lawrence King (talk) 18:55, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
script inactive sysopsHei Misza13, just informing you that your script inactive sysops is out of order. I know that it has been ok a few weeks ago. What's the problem with it now? Greetings --Geitost 18:35, 7 March 2013 (UTC) A barnstar for you!
Archived thread but failed to remove them from discussion pageSee [1]. At 10:35 UTC-4, the bot archived three threads but failed to remove them from the main ANI page. As a result, four hours later it archived those same three threads again (plus two new ones), resulting in three duplicate entries in the archive page which I had to remove manually [2]. What happened? jcgoble3 (talk) 05:59, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
Franz KafkaHi Misza13. In the page about Franz Kafka: http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Franz_Kafka ...in the first line, it says: Franz Kafka[a] (22 B.C.E –3 June 3014) . . . This must be an error, unless it is a reference to something implied, but not mentioned. Regards D. Westh — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.198.83.181 (talk) 19:03, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
Not archiving articles signed with Template:Unsigned?I have such messages on my talk page. They are dated, but I guess the bot doesn't like how it is done? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:48, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
Archiving of pages in the "Module talk" namespaceAbout a month ago two new namespaces were added to the English Wikipedia, "Module" and "Module talk". While I do not currently see a need for any of the Miszabots to archive anything in the Module namespace, it would be nice if discussions in Module talk could be handled by the bots. Would it be possible to add Module talk to one of the bots' list of coverage? --Allen3 talk 12:01, 25 March 2013 (UTC) MiszaBot II and headers inside template.Hi, MiszaBot II moved part of a discussion, because it didn't know a ==notes== header was inside a {{markup}} template and thought it was another section/discussion, as you can see here; the section is named "About references in templates". I think it should first search for headers inside such templates. I reverted the missing text move of that section. --KDesk (talk) 20:14, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
Archive prevention didn't workWith this edit [3] MiszaBot I archived the thread "Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement on Main page" on Talk:Main Page, even though it had a future timestamp, per the bot's FAQ. (I had used {{subst:bump}} to add the future timestamp) - Evad37 (talk) 03:46, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
