Hi. At Talk:Pulmonary embolism, the archive navbox shows only one archive page – Archive 1 – but this is a redlink (the page does not exist). Archive 2 does exist, but is not shown by the navbox. Would you take a look? —[AlanM1(talk)]— 03:21, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@AlanM1: There are several problems here. First, Misza13 is no longer around (see the box at the top of this page), they last edited in February 2015. Second, archiving of Talk:Pulmonary embolism is no longer performed by MiszaBot I (talk · contribs) - that bot went down even earlier, in October 2013, since when the archiving has been done by Lowercase sigmabot III (talk · contribs), as may be seen from the page history. Third, it's not a bot problem either because the archiving as set up by Diptanshu Das (talk · contribs) was configured to start with archive 2 (this is what |counter=2 does), so archive 1 never existed. Fourth, the {{Archives}} template assumes that archive page numbers begin with archive 1, it doesn't expect gaps in sequence.
You have at least three routes to fixing this. The quick fix is to create Talk:Pulmonary embolism/Archive 1 with a short note to say that the page is empty, possibly with an explanation why. The ideal fix is to move Talk:Pulmonary embolism/Archive 2 to Talk:Pulmonary embolism/Archive 1, amend all inward links, then blank out the redirect at Talk:Pulmonary embolism/Archive 2 that was created by the move. Another fix is to use a template which does a similar job to {{Archives}} but which can be configured for a different start value. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 07:45, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Redrose64: Thanks. I moved Talk:Pulmonary embolism/Archive 2 to Talk:Pulmonary embolism/Archive 1 (there are no relevant inlinks) and requested removal of the new redirect, Talk:Pulmonary embolism/Archive 2, at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 August 11 § Talk:Pulmonary embolism/Archive 2. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 08:27, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
