Archive indexing

Hello Legoktm, could you please check my indexing config's to see if there's an error, my index page hasn't been updated since June. I have a feeling I've asked this before and I apologise if I have. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:49, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Question about Legobot and RFC

Hey I have an ongoing RFC I just started to change proposed wording in one of the various Manual of Styles. I included the text in the RFC summary I submitted, but it's becoming increasingly apparent that it may not of been the best idea, as the draft has already significantly changed at least once. Is there anyway I can edit what appears on the various RFC lists, without having to time stamp the whole thing all over again? --Deathawk (talk) 11:40, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

@Deathawk: It's pointless amending RfC listing pages since they are entirely built by Legobot, and if any change is made to them, Legobot will overwrite that change at the next run. You need to edit the RfC at source: at its next run, Legobot will copy all the text from the {{rfc}} tag (exclusive) to the next timestamp (inclusive). So this amendment by myself was copied through by Legobot like this. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 15:15, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
@Deathawk: I see that you did that; but you didn't need to remove the |rfcid= parameter as well. That forces Legobot to issue a new one, and it's only necessary in certain circumstances - such as if you remove one or more of the category parameters (|media etc.) from the {{rfc}} template. Amending the rfc text is not one of those circs. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:11, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
Ok sorry, I misunderstood your first post. So to clarify, reediting any of the source text for the RFC will result in Legobot changing the description in the listing without having to remove the RFCID or having to create a new time stamp, correct? --Deathawk (talk) 21:49, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
Yes. For further examples, see any RFC listing page (other than WP:RFC/A), go to the page history, and look for any edit where the edit summary is simply "Maintenance." --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:16, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
