Archive time
editWhy should the archive time be 30 days? That seems ridiculously low, seeing as there is nothing here. Why not increase it to 180 days or 90 days or something? Jesanj (talk) 19:37, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why you created this since you created an identical discussion a month ago, but I will repeat what was written in that discussion. A previous discussion resulted in an administrator suggestion that Miszabot archive at 30-45 days of inactivity...and I agree. 30 days of inactivity is a standard archiving time; I've seen Miszabot set to just 7-10 days on some high traffic pages. There's a big "archive" button at the top of the page to see old discussions; 6 months is way too long IMHO. Aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 20:00, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
- Admins have no more weight than others in that conversation. Why do you pretend they do? Can you give me a cite that shows 30 days is standard? Talk:Death_panel is at 6 months. Is there a problem there? Jesanj (talk) 20:12, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
- Talk:Campaign for "santorum" neologism is at 10 days. What's your point? Aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 20:17, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
- So were you were making things up when you said 30 days was standard? And why exactly would 6 months be too long here? Jesanj (talk) 20:26, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
- No, I wasn't making anything up. 31 days is the default MiszaBot time. Frankly, if no one has responded in a discussion after 7-10 days (let alone 30) it's safe to say that it's an old discussion. Aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 20:49, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
- 31 days is fine...Most pages I watch are set between 30 and 60 days, with rare exceptions for very fast moving pages that come down as low as 10 (this page absolutely doesn't qualify). However, I am going to make another change to the archiving--I have never once seen "minthreadsleft" set to 0; usually its at 3-4; I'll compromise and set it at 2. Especially for a new user, it would be very odd to see a page with nothing on it, as they may not immediately notice the archiving box. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:44, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
- Sounds fair to me. Aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 01:06, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
