Click here to read how to set up a page to be archived by one of my bots. Note: Bot not working on your page? Please see the FAQ before posting!

When posting on this page, please observe the following guidelines: Discussions should be kept together, so unless you request otherwise, I will reply to your posts here and will also watch pages where I have posted myself and expect replies there. Do not use the {{talkback}} template or derivatives thereof here. Keep content disputes on relevant articles' talk pages. I'm not interested in XfD discussion adverts - these will be ignored. Similar requests by email are redirected to /dev/null immediately. Don't revert edits to this talk page, unless they're obvious vandalism like blanking/malicious editing of other's comments etc. I'll deal with stupid/hate/spam messages myself by promptly ignoring them. Thank you!

It also failed to archive a good many threads that it should have. With minthreadsleft = 5, there are a good many that were left. Hmmm. The last line of what was archived had <noinclude>{{reflist}}</noinclude> -- maybe that was a deal breaker. It will be interesting to see if the bot works the next go round and it should create Archive 4. I checked for blacklisted links which it didn't have. We'll see tomorrow. ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► 02:24, 27 January 2012 (UTC) A barnstar for you! The Minor barnstar Good work archiving talk pages. Pinetalk 09:42, 28 January 2012 (UTC) Misza Bot How do I apply to have my talk page archived?--The Theosophist (talk) 19:36, 1 February 2012 (UTC) Sorry for stalking. Just add the template to your talk page and the bot will archive it based on the settings you input. --Kumioko (talk) 19:49, 1 February 2012 (UTC) I started it for yoy but you might need to tweak it a little to your liking. --Kumioko (talk) 20:07, 1 February 2012 (UTC) Wikibooks b:User:MiszaBot was doing talk page archiving at en.wikibooks. A couple months ago it stopped. I checked into it today and somehow it was shown as being blocked indefinitely since 2007 (!?). How that can be with it having edited in the past year is beyond me. I confirmed that it was an actual block and not simply a block log entry. See the log. I've unblocked the bot so hopefully it should be working there again. – Adrignola talk 23:06, 1 February 2012 (UTC) Archiving I want it month-by-month but I don't know how to... program it! Can you help me?--The Theosophist (talk) 12:49, 2 February 2012 (UTC) Doesn't seem like enough traffic to make monthly archives, but yeah, you can change it to |archive = User talk:The Theosophist/Archive %(year)d/%(monthnameshort)s or some such. See User:MiszaBot/Archive HowTo#Example 3 - date-based archives. —WWoods (talk) 18:21, 2 February 2012 (UTC) Sorry, but I am really technophobic and when I see codes more complicated than [[]] I faint (sometimes literally). Once, it took me half-an-hour to understand how refferences work and two days later I had forgotten it... Can you do it for me?--The Theosophist (talk) 20:36, 2 February 2012 (UTC) not archiving Talk:Year 2000 problem#IPv4 address exhaustion I have looked pretty carefully, but don't see why the bot is not archiving Talk:Year 2000 problem#IPv4 address exhaustion. The latest comment is mine, at the bottom, at 05:43, 4 February 2011 (UTC). Maybe it is because there is a block of text in the section with a lot of dates listed? (Doesn't make sense though—they are all well in the past.) —EncMstr (talk) 21:02, 2 February 2012 (UTC) (talk page stalker) The minthreadsleft parameter, which (as its name suggests) controls the minimum number of threads remaining after archiving (explained here), is not defined on that page, so it defaults to 5. Since there are only five threads remaining on that page, the bot won't archive any of them until a new thread is started or until you define minthreadsleft as a lower number. jcgoble3 (talk) 22:00, 2 February 2012 (UTC) Thanks, I'll try adding that with value one. 5 is a surprising default value. I expect it would be zero. —EncMstr (talk) 23:21, 2 February 2012 (UTC) It works! Thanks again! —EncMstr (talk) 18:46, 6 February 2012 (UTC) Actually, it wasn't working, but it should now. jcgoble3 (talk) 02:08, 7 February 2012 (UTC) Not archiving (again) Very sorry to bother you yet again, but since I've gone back to numbered archives my archiving has stopped (after January 27, and there are enough threads to archive). After moving my current archive page (/Archive 7) I changed the code and checked the FAQ, but must be missing something. Thanks again and all the best, Miniapolis (talk) 02:54, 9 February 2012 (UTC) Defining a variable as itself doesn't work. :) %(counter)d is a variable that calls the value of the |counter= parameter. I changed |counter= to "7" (your current archive), so it should work now. jcgoble3 (talk) Oh boy, thanks a lot. I have to learn this language...:-) All the best, Miniapolis (talk) 14:49, 9 February 2012 (UTC) Archive box not updated MiszaBot I archived Talk:Bluetooth,[1] but did not update the archive box. —danhash (talk) 18:29, 9 February 2012 (UTC) That is not the functionality of the bot. That talk page has an archiving style which requires manual updating. This was the previous update to the one that you did. I would suggest adding 2012 to the box as you will soon have threads that archive there. ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► 20:05, 9 February 2012 (UTC) Better to have cluttered discussion pages (as annoying as that is) than to have inaccessible discussion. Why doesn't the bot update archive templates? Or is there an archive template the one on that page could be changed to that is able to be automatically updated by a bot? —danhash (talk) 20:59, 9 February 2012 (UTC) When the person set up the archive, they chose to use a custom form that is not updated automatically. If the archive pages had the format Archive 1, Archive 2,...etc. then those would show up in the archive box provided that the correct parameters are set. To make those adjustments, the archive pages would need to be renamed (moved) to match that format. ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► 21:08, 9 February 2012 (UTC) What time does MiszaBot II run? Hi, (About) when does MiszaBot II run every day? I'm trying to sync archiving up with a separate script that refreshes a database report on ns4. The idea is to archive the old report every day shortly before the new report runs and overwrites it. I could write archiving into my own script, but I'm a slow coder and would rather rely on cool tools with a proven track record, for now anyway :) Thanks! Jtmorgan (talk) 20:13, 10 February 2012 (UTC) Why doesn't Miszabot like me? Miszabot is somehow capable of distinguishing between datestamps I've added, and those that were put there by the original author of a comment, or added by Sinebot. And then it ignores mine, e.g.: "99.35.14.75 (talk) 04:10, 20 January 2012‎ (UTC)" on [2] It'll accept dates if I add them with my own comment, and I've found I can get away with a back-dated {{DNAU}}, but ... what's the problem? —WWoods (talk) 20:29, 10 February 2012 (UTC) WT:CHARTS Can you look into why older discussions aren't being archived at Wikipedia talk:Record charts? Thanks. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 21:43, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
