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)

How does "numberstart" work?
On Help talk:Citation Style 1, |numberstart= is set to "69" but the bot correctly archives to the final archive page "95". How does the bot use the parameter and how does it know to archive to the correct page? Rjj (talk) 14:11, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Since
|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.|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|maxarchsize=200000to|maxarchsize=300000and leave older archives alone). — Naomi Amethyst 15:48, 23 August 2024 (UTC)- Thanks, that makes sense, Rjj (talk) 16:19, 23 August 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)
nowiki with archivenow?
Why does User:ClueBot III/ArchiveThis advise using, say, |archivenow=<nowiki>{{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}}</nowiki> instead of |archivenow={{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}}? Ss0jse (talk) 23:22, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
