Selective talk page archiving
[edit]Hi,
It would be useful if I could keep an archive of fixed bugs reported at User:Citation bot/bugs, whereby any section containing the template "fixed" or "resolved" is moved to an archive after 1 week, to allow the bug reporter to confirm that it is indeed fixed. Bugs that aren't marked in this fashion would be considered open so should not be archived. Is there an existing bot that could be modified to do this, or would anybody be willing to make one?
Thanks

- right now there are none that exist, but I have one sitting on a shelf that Ill be able to dust off as soon as the editing restrictions Im under expire. (A little under 60 days from now). [[User talk:Betacommand|β<sup><sub>command</sub></sup>]] (talk) 20:34, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, you can. User:ClueBot III has a function that will archive pages only if they have a specific template. You could set the archive template like this
{{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveThis
|archiveprefix=User:Citation bot/bugs/Archive
|format= %%i
|age=999999
|archivenow = {{tl|resolved,{{tl|Resolved
|maxarchsize=150000
}}
I do not know, however, if you can make ClueBot wait a week after those templates are added, it does it instantly. Tim1357 talk 04:46, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
- I wonder how difficult it would be to modify Cluebot to support the time delay, or indeed whether its operator would be amenable to such a request? Martin (Smith609 – Talk) 03:36, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
If you archive manually, you can be as selective as you'd like. :-) --MZMcBride (talk) 03:49, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
