Unexpected behaviour in my talk page archives
[edit]I use Cluebot III for archive my talk page. I recently changed the archive size, I set it to 75k when I created my account and never really thought about it. However looking at that now it seemed a bit small so I changed it to 150k. What I didn't expect was that Cluebot would now archive discussion to the first archive[1], even though there are later archives. I assume if left it will continue this behaviour until all the preexisting archives are the new size. Is this a known issue? -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 12:37, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
- This is a consequence of how the bot works. I'm not sure just how "intentional" it is (it's just kind of doing as it's told), but you can manually solve the issue for your talk page by specifying a
numberstartso that ClueBot will only start archiving from the archive you choose instead of appending to old ones. Aidan9382 (talk) 12:53, 1 May 2025 (UTC)- Thanks Aidan9382, I've added numberstart. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 14:41, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
My reasons for the edits
[edit]Hi! My reasons for the edits to List of Looney Tunes video games was to have it be less repeating links to the same articles over and over again, as I feel certain links to articles should only be linked once per different section of the article and not through out the entire section. 2603:8001:8403:7188:3D0A:B5A6:F577:3EF6 (talk) 22:08, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
- @2603:8001:8403:7188:3D0A:B5A6:F577:3EF6: It really helps to use the Edit Summary if you don't want the bot thinking you are vandalizing - RichT|C|E-Mail 04:37, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
ClueBot added to archive #1, instead of new archive #15
[edit]I had 14 (fourteen) archive files; and enabled ClueBot. When it did its first archive action, it appneded into the first (oldest) archive, rather than appending to #14. That is very wrong. I see user ActivelyDisinterested had the same problem (above). Two suggestions:
- The issue & the workaround should be more prominently mentioned (as a whole bullet item) in the FAQ (?? which is dedicated to vandalism, not archiving?)
- The ClueBot software should be fixed so the tool never appends into an "old" archive: it should always append into the archive with the largest number.
