Bug ID: 70249 Summary: Ability to archive a section based on template status, additional to age Product: Pywikibot Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: archivebot.py Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: billinghurstwiki@gmail.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---

To extend the use of this script, it would be useful if archivebot.py was able to detect and act on the status of a template to determine whether a section can be archived.

For example for stewards, could get archiving based on certain parameters set in [[m:Template:Status]]; similarly [[m:Spam blacklist]] could archive posts based on the available resolution states used there. So I am thinking that there could be the ability to set an additional parameter that reads the template name, and have the states of the template that would allow archiving (either as part of the parameter or as an additional parameter), and still based on the age algorithm.

Thanks for your consideration of this suggestion.
