[edit] Archiving problem
The archive box (with links to the archives for the noticeboard) and the bot that is doing the archiving are not synchronized; would someone fix that? (Thanks). -- John Broughton (♫♫) 13:41, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- Let me go a bit further - if the archiving bot is going to create a bunch of subpages of the format Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard/2008-3-21/foobar, then there should be a page called Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard/2008-3-21, with links to the subpages, and the 2008 archive should have a link to the page Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard/2008-3-21. Otherwise there is no (obvious) way for someone interested in coming up to speed on bot issues to browse the archives for interesting stuff. (I realize that browsing is possibly via the index of pages, but it's good practice to have multiple ways to accomplish the same thing, for the less expert - particularly if what is needed is to modify bot code and create a few more pages and links. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 13:51, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
