Duplication in Teahouse archive
See this edit and this diff You'll just have to take my word for it.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  21:04, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

This and this is the problem. Bot added the threads to the archive but couldn't remove them from the teahouse page due to an edit conflict. Wiping out teh edit conflict is not great, but given the nature of the edit conflict there's no way to resolve that without human intervention, sadly. → Σ σ  ς. (Sigma) 06:49, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

Automated archiving on the reliable sources noticeboard
Hi Σ, earlier today, only archived 2 discussions from Reliable sources/Noticeboard. This reduced the size of the noticeboard down to 440kB, while the User:MiszaBot/config tag had  set to. Many older discussions including (last comment on 15 September),  (last comment on 19 September), and  (last comment on 9 September) were not archived, even though   was set to. Do you know why did not archive the older discussions? —  Newslinger  talk   04:18, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
 * First off, without even looking at the diff provided, I can say that you are misunderstanding maxarchivesize - this has nothing to do with the size of the noticeboard, its value is checked against the size of the archive page, so that the bot knows when it is time to bump the counter and start another archive. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 18:57, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the correction, . I was searching for an explanation for the archival pattern and got momentarily confused. Since the archive time is set to 5 days, I am still trying to understand why the older discussions were skipped by . —  Newslinger  talk   19:02, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I've manually archived the noticeboard with OneClickArchiver as a one-time remedy, per . —  Newslinger  talk   18:11, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Tools
You may be interested to know that the Edit Summary Search Tool you made is no longer functioning. DS (talk) 19:48, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, it throws a HTTP 500 with a traceback like this:  -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 21:12, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

no idea what could've caused that but i restarted it and it seems to be working now → Σ σ  ς. (Sigma) 03:43, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * It worked today but is now giving "500 - Internal Server Error". DS (talk) 23:49, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I was trying EditorInteract but I also get 500. &mdash; regards, Revi 13:00, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Interaction analyzer down?
You probably already know, but figured I'd mention the very useful tool, the editor interaction analyzer seems to be down (haven't been able to access for the last couple days). &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 22:24, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

User:MiszaBot/config defaults
Whenever I implement "Example 2: Incremental archives", it feels silly to add parameters that I mostly keep at the same default. But I note that the suggested default for "Example 2: Incremental archives" is not the same as the template's default values. Wouldn't it make sense to change the default to what is most commonly used and thus reduce the need for adding extra parameters to talk pages? Unless there's a reason I'm missing, I suggest using defaults similar to the current example: archiveheader of aan, minthreadsleft = 3, minthreadstoarchive = 1, maxarchivesize = 150K, algo = old(90d). And then all most talk pages would need is the archive and counter params. czar 22:54, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Is User:Lowercase sigmabot III/Source.py the right place to modify the code? Or is it hosted elsewhere? czar  03:22, 26 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the confusion - By that, I meant that you could feel free to correct the documentation.
 * I don't think it's a good idea to change the default settings that the bot actually uses, since I don't know how many pages actually rely on them remaining the same. → Σ σ  ς . (Sigma) 23:53, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
