Fixing archiving on this talk page
[edit]Hey, I noticed your archiving has some issues. I've fixed one of the issues with {{User:MiszaBot/config}}, but I have some suggestions for the others.
- You should move User talk:ModdiWX/Archive 17 to User talk:ModdiWX/Archive 2 and move User talk:ModdiWX/Archive 18 to User talk:ModdiWX/Archive 3
- 1a. Put
{{db-u1}}on the redirects after moving (to reduce confusion, and so the archives page titles are free for the future)
- 1a. Put
- Change the
| counter=18to| counter=3inside{{User:MiszaBot/config}}so the bot will update where it archives talk pages. - Add
{{Unsigned|Skarmory|03:15, 19 March 2022}}to the bottom of the welcome message so it can be archived. If you want, you can manually move it to the top of User talk:ModdiWX/Archive 1. - As a matter of style, you can delete
{{archives}}from the top of the page, since the talk page header contains archive links.
Anyway, hope that is helpful. Retro (talk | contribs) 06:15, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- To explain a bit further, the reason why have an issue is probably because you copied the
{{User:MiszaBot/config}}from somewhere else but didn't change|counter=, so now the archives have a big jump from archive 1 to archive 17. Retro (talk | contribs) 06:19, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
