This user is NOT a humanThis is the combined talk page for ClueBot NG and ClueBot III. These users are automated computer programs and are not humans. Please be aware that bots cannot think like a human and cannot operate outside of their programming. Messages you leave on this talk page will not be answered by a bot – either a bot operator or another human will answer you. Stop False positives and false negativesIf you believe that ClueBot NG has mistakenly identified a good edit as vandalism, please follow the directions in the warning it gave or click here. Please do not report it on this talk page. It takes less time to report the case to the correct location, and we can handle it more effectively there.
If you believe that ClueBot NG has missed an edit that is vandalism, again do not report it here. ClueBot is unable to catch all vandalism. Just revert the edit and warn the editor.

Archiving Template:Archive top and Template:Archive bottom

Category talk:American novelists was repeatedly archived to Category talk:American novelists/Archives/1 with this change:

{{archive top|...}}{{tl|archive top|...}}

The corresponding {{archive bottom}} was not adjusted in any way, which results in a stripped <div> each time.

If there is a Misplaced Pages policy or guideline somewhere saying what to do with {{archive top|...}} upon archiving, please link to it here and ping me. In any event, I believe we should "tl" either both or neither the top and the bottom templates. —Anomalocaris (talk) 08:30, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

@Cobi: I've been waiting a week for a response. —Anomalocaris (talk) 11:05, 22 December 2019 (UTC)


@Cobi: I would like a response. —Anomalocaris (talk) 08:56, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

@Anomalocaris: Apologies for butting in, but just to advise that Cobi hasn't edited since 2 November last year, unfortunately. Perhaps raise this at the bot noticeboard in the absence of its operator? ——SN54129 10:20, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
@Serial Number 54129: Thank you for your suggestion. I went ahead and edited Category talk:American novelists changing each occurrence of
{{tl|archive top|...}}{{archive top|...}}
as the discussions were before archiving. —Anomalocaris (talk) 19:52, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
This is documented behavior:
archivenow

Type: comma delimited array of strings
Default: ""
Description: This optional parameter should contain a comma separated list of strings for which ClueBot III will search within the threads on the page. If any of these strings are found in a thread, the bot will archive the thread immediately. The bot will also convert {{templates}} in this list to {{tl|escaped templates}} upon archival. This could be useful for pages where {{resolved}} or such is used. The {{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}} blank template is available for this use. However, it has no special properties. It is only just another string that happens to be a template for which ClueBot III can be told to search. In addition to the following typical usage, an example of its use is shown below.
Typical usage: |archivenow=<nowiki>{{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}}</nowiki>
