Lowercase sigmabot III archiving glitch?

Hi there. I was just looking back for an old RfC on Talk:Rishi Sunak/Archive 2 and I happened to notice that everything from April—November of last year seems to have disappeared from that archive? Did a little deep dive into the page history and noticed that all of it was still present as of this edit by the bot [1], but was removed by the time of this one [2], and yet the removal isn't shown in the difference between the two edits [3]. Not sure if this is a glitch with the bot or just something I'm missing, but I figured it was best to bring it to your attention. Thanks, estar8806 (talk) 18:12, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

@Estar8806: It's nothing to do with lowercase sigmabot III. The clue is at the bottom of your second diff, in the section headed "Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 13 April 2023" where we see the big red error message Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).. You'll also notice that in that section, there's a big gap between the timestamps. The thing about unclosed <ref> tags is that they attempt to pair up with the next </ref> tag, even if that is miles away down the page and actually belongs to a completely different <ref> tag - this pairing effectively hides the content between them. This edit fixes it for the present version, but it can't be applied retrospectively. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:05, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

I did not use it correctly

Hi, I wanted to archive the talk page of Talk:Andreas_Papandreou. I placed the template and the bot [the archive] to a page Talk:Andreas_Papandreou/Archive2. However, there is no Achieve box with the appropriate link(s) at the talk page to this newly created archive page. What have I missed? I really appreciate any help you can provide.

@A.Cython: Basically, see thread below: it's the same cause. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:37, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for your quick response. I have fixed the counter value from 2 to 1. However, I do not know how to rename the paper Talk:Andreas_Papandreou/Archive 2 without a redirect. I do not have the administrative privileges. Is there another way or how to get these privileges in order to fix this? A.Cython (talk) 14:46, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
@A.Cython: I moved it w/o redir; there were no inward links to fix. As for the archive box, that needs to be added manually, which I've done. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:29, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
Thank you so much! A.Cython (talk) 20:00, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Talk:New Zealand Wars

In January 2024 someone set up auto-archiving for Talk:New Zealand Wars. Lowercase sigmabot III created Talk:New Zealand Wars/Archive 2, but there is no Talk:New Zealand Wars/Archive 1. And there is nothing I can see at Talk:New Zealand Wars that indicates that any archive exists – I only chanced on it by looking at the history. Surely this is not how things are supposed to work, but I am not familiar with how to make it work correctly. Thank you in anticipation. Nurg (talk) 01:47, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

@Nurg: That was Riposte97 (talk · contribs) who set a wrong value for |counter= in this edit. What you need to do is adjust |counter=2 to |counter=1, move Talk:New Zealand Wars/Archive 2 to Talk:New Zealand Wars/Archive 1 without leaving a redirect, and fix up all inward links to that archive. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:35, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
Thank you very much. All fixed. Nurg (talk) 09:07, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
Apologies both. Riposte97 (talk) 09:37, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Change automatic archiving period in Trump's talk page.

After all the mayhem of the election, there are more and more topics being constantly added. Are you able to change the automatic archiving period on Lowercase sigmabot III to be reduced for at most 4 days? I'm not saying that this will be happening one way or another, it's just a request that I thought would be useful to avoid clutter on the talk page. If you're able to reach consensus for that matter, then excellent. Lmk about anything else. ѕιη¢єяєℓу ƒяσм, ᗰOᗪ ᑕᖇEᗩTOᖇ 🏡 🗨 📝 03:01, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @Mod creator: Assuming that you mean Talk:Donald Trump, all the archiving settings are in the {{User:MiszaBot/config}} before the first heading. The documentation for this shows that you need to adjust the |algo=old(14d) parameter. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:24, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
