Template talk:Archive bottom/Archive 1

Untitled
This wording is confusing and contradictory. "Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page, such as the current discussion page. No further edits should be made to this page." Huh? In other words, "edit this page, if necessary, but don't edit this page." Is there any case where this would be more useful than Discussion bottom? If no-one objects, I will redirect this there in a week. Grand master  ka  22:29, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Documentation page link
Please link to Template:Archive top/doc to serve as documentation for this template. This template doesn't need its own separate documentation. D O N D E groovily  Talk to me  12:37, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

ANI variant
When used on ANI, this template (and its brother template, archive top) will now omit "Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page". Additionally, I've removed the "such as the current discussion page" portion of the message due to the confusing nature of the language (basically, "don't edit this page if you have a comment, but edit it if you have a comment"). m.o.p 05:35, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Edit request re: documentation
The documentation is discombobulated. Please change the following code:

It's a simple line break that is screwing up the documentation. It works: I tested it in the sandbox:. Rgrds. --64.85.214.140 (talk) 05:53, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Safesubsting parser function
Since this template is often substituted rather than transcluded, can someone add  before the "#switch" tag, like in the sandbox? This prevents the parser function from being kept in the wikicode if the template is substituted; see this test (the first part is the substituted current template, the second part is the sandbox version).

Please add noinclude tags around the notice, because subst-ing the Archive bottom template currently drags in a copy of the merge notice and its category. See for example Talk:E.H. Gibbs House. -- John of Reading (talk) 16:39, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Please remove the line break after the TfD's. It's causing an extra linebreak when using some tools. – Thjarkur (talk) 18:15, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

This page gets listed in Special:LintErrors/stripped-tag because of having  without the balancing   tag. Functionally this is correct since this template is paired with Archive top which has the opening div tag. So a div tag wrapped in noincude needs to be added to remove the page off Linter report.

So add  immediately before the second. You can see that this works in Template:Archive bottom/sandbox. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 06:20, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅. There is no need to put edit requests on each page that needs edits like this. I am getting to them over time. If you want to make a list of linked templates that need this edit and drop them on my talk page, you are welcome to do so. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:13, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Which "appropriate discussion page"?
Shouldn't there be a parameter to allow one to provide a link to "the appropriate discussion page" – or to omit the sentence "Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page." entirely if no appropriate discussion page can be identified or if the reason for closing the discussion was that the topic itself is inappropriate? --Lambiam 08:32, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
