Problems with archiving and display on my talkpage

Hello, I started using MiszaBot III in December 2007, some nine months after starting on wp. I added an archives 'plate later that month. Obviously Lowercase sigmabot III has inherited my talkpage's archiving.

Somehow the display on my talkpage now shows the early archives only, with 2008 Archive 3 as the latest. It does not display any of the later archives, which should be up to Archive 13 (no year). I don't know if the bot is working erratically, sometimes content has been left on my talkpage for a lot longer than 7d. I've manually archived some content from time to time. More importantly it is not easy to go to a particular archive: I have to do a search for my talkpages.

The code I use is:

{{User:MiszaBot/config
|maxarchivesize = 100K
|counter = 13
|minthreadsleft = 0
|algo = old(7d)
|archive = User talk:Shaidar cuebiyar/Archive %(counter)d
}}
{{archives
|auto=yes
|large=no
}}

Can you advise where I've gone wrong?shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 00:44, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

bot created mainspace article

Lowercase sigmabot III just created Link=Wikipedia:Vital articles/Level/5/Physical sciences/Basics and measurement. No idea where it should be moved to, so reporting to you. Schazjmd (talk) 00:44, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

• Wow, I typed in "enwikiboo" instead of "enwikibooks". Still, this could have a clearer error message. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 20:22, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Problem with bot "Lowercase sigmabot III"

Bot does not check for active RFC headers before archiving discussions. This needs fixing. IHateAccounts (talk) 15:33, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @IHateAccounts: It's not supposed to. A bot cannot examine a thread to see what type of thread it is, nor what is under discussion, all it can do is look for timestamps. If the newest timestamp that it finds is more than a certain age (that age being specified in the |algo=old(5d) parameter), the thread is eligible for archiving. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:33, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Also: I presume that you refer to this pair of edits, of which you reverted just one? Please note that by not reverting both of Lowercase sigmabot III's edits, there now exist threads that are both in the live talk page and in the archives. This is a problem, and not the first time that you have caused it, either. If you look at the present version of Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 323, you will see that threads titled 'Tapol bulletin', 'House of Parliament raw data for dates of birth of living people', 'Irish Times and Irish Examiner', 'RFC: "Jihad Watch", should it be deprecated as a source?', 'Are these estimates reliable?' and 'Daily Kos election predictions' all exist twice in that archive, and moreover, all six of them may also be found at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. Why do you think that we need three copies each of six discussions? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:53, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
