Hello, Misza13! From my reading the archive how-to, it seems the only measure of archive size is volume of text, while I (and possibly others) prefer to use the thread count—in particular for its effect on the size of the ToC. Since the program appears to be able to count sections, with its minima for moving or leaving behind, would there be much involved in allowing an alternative or additional parameter (which could be called something like maxarchivethreads or maxthreadsinarchive), such that an archive would be considered full when its thread count equals or exceeds that number? (I’d expect the 2000-kB limit to apply where maxarchivesize is absent and the thread count hasn‘t reached the specified number.)—Odysseus1479 04:13, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Odysseus1479: Misza13 has not edited for several months, and the bots have not performed any archiving for at least two years now. --Redrose64 (talk) 08:01, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
3 years, 10 months. You get the idea. Also there's a big infobox at the top which says don't post about the bots. -- numbermaniac (talk) 07:07, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, since I was referred here from c:Commons:Talk page guidelines (viaUser:MiszaBot/Archive HowTo and a redirect from its Talk page), I didn’t pay attention to the header. I’ll go back and see if I can find the bot that’s taken over the TP archiving there. If any of this page’s TPSs knows what the replacement here is, it might be helpful to change that redirect to point to the current operator’s Talk page, or just remove it so the page can resume its normal function. OTOH if there’s already a similar page for the current bot, please let me know and I’ll edit the Commons guideline to point there instead.—Odysseus1479 00:27, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
