| :Since {{para|maxarchsize|200000}}, it starts at 69, and then sees that that one is full, then checks 70, sees that that one is also full, and so on up to 95. {{para|numberstart}} is just where the bot starts in case of existing archives from older bots, or changes in the config (like if someone were want to go from {{para|maxarchsize|200000}} to {{para|maxarchsize|300000}} and leave older archives alone). <span style="color:#dbb5ff;font:bold 125% 'Brush Script MT',cursive;padding-left:.75em;padding-right:.5em">— ] ]</span> 15:48, 23 August 2024 (UTC) | |||

ClueBot III with {archive box}?
Is there any way to get ClueBot III to work with a previously generated {archive box} template? Context is Template talk:Date. Tule-hog (talk) 01:48, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Archiving to the wrong archive number?
Hi! I just switched over to Cluebot III for archiving my talk page, but it has been archiving to User talk:Goodnightmush/Archive 3 even though the latest archive page is User talk:Goodnightmush/Archive 7. I haven't been able to figure out what configuration mistake I've made. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks very much! Goodnightmush 12:59, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- Goodnightmush, the
numberstartparameter on your user talk page is set to1, so ClueBot III starts with trying to archive to User talk:Goodnightmush/Archive 1. When it does so, it sees that it's already larger than the maximum size set by themaxarchsizeparameter (75,000 bytes). It then moves on to User talk:Goodnightmush/Archive 2, sees that it's also too big, and then settles for User talk:Goodnightmush/Archive 3, because that's still within the maximum size.
- To correct this, change the
numberstartparameter to7, which is your latest archive page. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 13:30, 28 August 2024 (UTC)- Thank you! Goodnightmush 13:44, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
