Some pages should be archived as a snapshot at a specific interval, such as once a week. I could write a one-off code for what I want, but if you had something close it would be great. Gimmetrow 00:36, 2 March 2008 (UTC) In fact, the algorithm is ready. But I have written it for a more advanced version of the bot (a rewrite from scratch, basically) which is not yet entirely assembled. Миша13 20:48, 3 March 2008 (UTC) Tiny note about WQA Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts was nearly 300kb, so I archived some threads which were inactive, resolved, withdrawn, or referred elsewhere. Archives 39 and 40 are both over 100 kb now, Archive 41 is barely over 60kb with room for more. I'm just letting you know, O saviour of bloated noticeboards, because I heard somewhere that the bot has to be told which archive to use next. Keep up the GREAT work! — Athaenara ✉ 05:50, 2 March 2008 (UTC) BTW, Archive 41 (Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts/archive41) is not appearing on the main WP:WQA page in the archive list. Can you take a look and see what might be causing that? — KieferSkunk (talk) — 21:30, 5 March 2008 (UTC) That's because the archive navbox is maintained manually. Миша13 21:33, 5 March 2008 (UTC) Ah, okay. Thanks for clarifying - I didn't see anything on the WQA page that indicated how that worked. I'll pass that on to the person who asked about it. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 23:24, 5 March 2008 (UTC) How to search subpage trees within Wikipedia You may find this section interesting: Template:Google custom/doc#How to search subpage trees within Wikipedia. It tells how to easily make an archive searchable. Perhaps you would consider mentioning it somewhere under User:MiszaBot/Archive HowTo#After you have set up archiving. --Teratornis (talk) 18:25, 3 March 2008 (UTC) That's quite irrelevant if you remember that the {{archive box}} template accepts a parameter auto=yes which auto-displays the list of archives as long as you use a standard naming of /Archive N. Миша13 20:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC) How does displaying a list of archive page titles allow searching on the full text of the content of those pages? Or perhaps I do not understand your referent of "That". --Teratornis (talk) 21:28, 3 March 2008 (UTC) Ah, I probably misunderstood - I read that as listing/indexing the archives and not searching. Interesting tip, thanks. Миша13 20:45, 6 March 2008 (UTC) Importer Bot Misza13, I tried following the instructions to import news from wikinews into Portal:Fire but am not sure where I went wrong. If could or someone else you know wouldn't mind taking a look at it, I would appreciate it. The relevant pages are: Portal:Fire, Portal:Fire/Fire news, and [1]. Thanks, --Daysleeper47 (talk) 19:15, 3 March 2008 (UTC) The bot only updates pages whose names end with /Wikinews. Миша13 20:51, 3 March 2008 (UTC) Bot help for fixing redirects, in preparation for some template moves/renaming Please see Wikipedia:Requested moves#Incomplete and contested proposals - re: proposed changes/moves of usage of {{Scientology}} and {{Scientology}} and {{WikiProject Scientology}}. Your help/expertise in finding some quick way to fix the redirects of {{Scientology}}, to directly instead be to {{WikiProject Scientology}}, would be greatly appreciated. Cirt (talk) 20:24, 3 March 2008 (UTC) Please seek assistance on WP:BOTREQ - I'm afraid I don't have much free time to spend recently... Миша13 20:52, 3 March 2008 (UTC) Okay, will do. Cirt (talk) 21:29, 3 March 2008 (UTC) Prośba o mediację Witaj, zwracam się do Ciebie z prośbą o mediację. Czy ważne są prośby userów przez gg o zmianę ich strony? Pytam, bowiem 29 lutego zostalem poproszony o poprawę tej strony. 2 marca moja edycja została zrewertowana, a Visor nie pomyślał o tym, że może ten użytkownik zażyczył sobie zmiany, tylko od razu zrewertował. Dziwne dla mnie jest też, że gdy pewien wikipedysta (wolę zachować anonimowość tego użytkownika) wprowadzał zmiany na moją stronę użytkownika, na moją prośbę, wtedy Visorowi to nie przeszkadzało. Ogółem problem jest taki, że ostatnio w "real life" zwaliło mi sie sporo rzeczy na głowę: obowiązki zawodowe+studia+prywatne sprawy i sam nie mam zbyt czasu, aby to wyjaśniać, dlatego proszę Ciebie, jako doświadczonego użytkownika, mającego spore doświadczenie: jeśli możesz zainterweniuj w tej sprawie. Czekam na odpowiedź od Ciebie na temat wszystkiego co Ci napisałem, oraz na Twoją decyzję. Z wyrazami szacunku dla doświadczonego użytkownika Paweł Alden or my talk page 20:58, 3 March 2008 (UTC) Dodam jeszcze, że nie chcę wchodzić w żadne osobiste polemiki i editwary z Visorem, dlatego proszę o mediację. Paweł Alden or my talk page 21:00, 3 March 2008 (UTC) Problem już nieaktualny. Paweł Alden or my talk page 22:51, 3 March 2008 (UTC) WP:UNI newsletter is ready Hey! The WikiProject Universities February 2008 newsletter is ready to be distributed. If you can distribute it ASAP that would be great. If you have questions, I will refer you back to our original discussion. Thanks so much, you're a lifesaver!—Noetic Sage 00:23, 4 March 2008 (UTC) Signpost updated for March 3rd, 2008.

Hi; the archiving on my talkpage seems to not be going ahead; can you see where the problem is? Cheers, —TreasuryTag talkcontribs 12:56, 5 March 2008 (UTC) Working now; don't worry! —TreasuryTag talk contribs 20:35, 5 March 2008 (UTC) Your fix to my user page Thanks! I've been meaning to ask about that. [2] Bovlb (talk) 20:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC) Heh I was wondering about that and was going to ask you . . . thanks. :) -WarthogDemon 00:31, 6 March 2008 (UTC) Bad archiving MiszaBotII sent the latest WT:CSD archiving to /dev/null. Just to let you know, can't see why it would have happened.--Nilfanion (talk) 12:15, 6 March 2008 (UTC) Thanks for fixing my talk page I'd lost track that I didn't know how to do that. Спасибо, Миша. Or is it 'dziekuje'?--Gregalton (talk) 12:57, 6 March 2008 (UTC) Archives Hello, I have a question regarding your bot, what's happened to archive one and two here?[3] Funkynusayri (talk) 13:38, 6 March 2008 (UTC) Hello Funky. I'm not Misza, but I notice when you set up your archiving you set the counter to start with Archive 3. There is no evidence that 1 or 2 were ever used. EdJohnston (talk) 19:44, 6 March 2008 (UTC) Ah, ok, there doesn't need to be evidence for anything, as I simply copied the parameters from another page, without really knowing what I was doing. What can I do yo change it? Funkynusayri (talk) 22:29, 6 March 2008 (UTC) One way to do it is: rename Archive 3 as Archive 1 (using the Move tab), rename Archive 4 as Archive 2, then edit your User_talk so that 'counter=2' in the bot instructions. The bot will then archive any newly-expiring items into Archive 2, and it will automatically increment the counter from now on as the archives fill up. EdJohnston (talk) 20:04, 7 March 2008 (UTC) All done. Миша13 21:05, 7 March 2008 (UTC) User talk:Rcooley/Archive 1 Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article User talk:Rcooley/Archive 1, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at [[Talk:User talk:Rcooley/Archive 1|its talk page]]. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 15:00, 6 March 2008 (UTC) Bot not archiving comments marked with {{unsigned}} Hi Misza. Do you think you could edit the script to handle unsigned comments that are marked as such (e.g., [4])? I have tried both subst'ing the template, and directly using the template, but the bot does not recognize date stamp. If you need any help creating this, feel free to give me a shout; the changes should be fairly straight forward. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Evil Spartan (talk • contribs) 17:12, 6 March 2008 (UTC) Oh irony, you forgot you sign your own comment. It shouldn't matter whether the template is substed or not as long as there is a timestamp in the format of "HH:MM, D Month YYYY (UTC)" in the page's code. That thread you mention is on the other hand only 3 days old, whereas the archiving configuration for that page is set to archive 30 day old messages. Its time will come soon enough. Миша13 20:51, 6 March 2008 (UTC) This suggests that the use of {{unsigned}} with two parameters would allow the bot to take action, provided the time stamp is UTC. Even though that's a lot of typing. EdJohnston (talk) 21:33, 6 March 2008 (UTC) The auto-signing bot uses the two parameter version and so do I - it is a bit of a hassle to find the time of the post in page history (remember the "(UTC)") but I don't complain. Миша13 21:37, 6 March 2008 (UTC) OK, here's an example where it didn't work: [5]. The Evil Spartan (talk) 17:17, 8 March 2008 (UTC) Note the missing comma after the hour. <insert dumb face here> I can't possibly compensate for all variations, it's only a simple parser, you know... Миша13 18:13, 8 March 2008 (UTC) Ah. Apparently the unsigned template on commons needs fixing. The Evil Spartan (talk) 00:01, 9 March 2008 (UTC) WT:IAR We have changed the MiszaBot II settings on the page WT:IAR. Is it possible to force the bot to archive the page now? I understand that "force-refreshing" is not a tool you would want the public to have, but that talk page is over 300 KB long now. - Chardish (talk) 21:53, 6 March 2008 (UTC) Archiving my talk page Hi there. Just wanted to say thanks for fixing the archiving of my talk page; I couldn't work out why it wasn't working (I hadn't used the template correctly). I probably should have just asked you, but I see you noticed anyway and corrected it. Thanks again. :) Terraxos (talk) 03:04, 7 March 2008 (UTC) Can't sleep, clowns will ban me You may want to respond to this help request. Bovlb (talk) 23:13, 7 March 2008 (UTC) It did wipe out the section See [6], the bot did wipe out the resolved issues section, though it didn't the last time. ??? Can you look into this? Thanks. — Rlevse • Talk • 12:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC) See idea here. — Rlevse • Talk • 23:38, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
