At this edit ClueBot III archived a section that should not have been archived. Is this a bug in the bot or is there a mechanism that will prevent the bot from considering such sections?

ClueBot III works based on the revision history of the page in question, and not on the timestamps associated with signatures.To avoid archiving that particular thread, you can either change the header level to one (single
=
) from two, or simply add a ((DNAU)) template. Let me know if you have further queries. Regards, —usernamekiran (talk) 19:18, 30 December 2022 (UTC)Heading 1 (= Heading 1 =
) is automatically generated as the title of the article, and is never appropriate within the body of articles.
The advice to use ((DNAU))
seems to be equally flawed because there isn't a way to say ((DNAU|end-of-time))
...<h2>...</h2>
→ <p>...</p>
tags and ((hr))
at this edit and this edit. At this edit I replaced all of that html with ((fake heading))
which for that page produces a correctly appearing heading that the archiving bots should(?) ignore and no guidance is violated.:
list markup (WP:LISTGAP), we should not violate the heading guidance. WT:AWB uses level one header thriceis an other-stuff argument. I don't clearly understand what you mean with regard to
((DNAU))
. Yeah, sure we can probably write ((DNAU|100|years))
... But why should we have to do that? Is there a ((Do not archive))
template that the archiving bots understand? I thought that the lack of a signature was all that was needed to keep a section from being archived...<h2 style="border-bottom: 1px solid #AAAAAA">Before you post</h2>
How do I get this bot to only archive sections of a talk page if the talk page size exceeds a certain limit? I don't think Lowercase sigmabot III does this.
I tried to get this bot to archive when my talk page exceeds ~75 kB (maxkeepbytes set to ~74700) yet it did it anyways at 39.5kB probably because I did not set the age parameter by then. (FYI, I use a "talk fullness" mechanic to determine when my talk should be archived; the fraction is [my talk page size in bytes / 75000].) Sheep (talk • he/him) 13:07, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I recently added three sections to my user talk page archive. They were deleted before the bot started indexing/archiving and I'm brought them back. Will the bot automatically index the new sections or do I have to do this manually? Will this mess up the automatic indexing when sections are auto archived in the future?
