All archiving tasks which used to be performed by the MiszaBots are now performed by lowercase sigmabot III without the need to change the {{User:MiszaBot/config}} configuration. The actual MiszaBots were turned off in 2013. This instructional page is based on User:MiszaBot/Archive HowTo. |
Since November 2013, Lowercase sigmabot III (talk · contribs) has taken over all tasks that used to be performed by MiszaBot. The configuration syntax is unchanged, which is why you will see the name "MiszaBot" included in configuration instructions below. According to the source code, Lowercase sigmabot III only uses {{User:MiszaBot/config}} as the config. You cannot substitute "Lowercase sigmabot III" for "MiszaBot" in the configuration.
For similar bots, see Category:Wikipedia archive bots.
Before setting up automatic archiving on a high-traffic article's talk page, please establish a consensus that archiving is necessary there.
If you are unsure what code to use, a suggestion: go to #Example 2: Incremental archives and have a look at its copy paste section.
