Expanding on the task

[edit]

@TheSandDoctor (or others): After a notice from another editor about a month back or so about the bot potentially causing issues (See here), I had significantly cut-down on the "confidence" of the bot, as to avoid it from changing the parameter if it wasn't sure 100% the archives had been correctly moved, and had it alert me for anything concerning. Over the past few days, I've been looking into improving on how much I had cut it down, and recently finished. The main idea is that, now, the bot will try to locate which page it was moved from and to move any /Archive subpages under it to the new location (given the move was uncontested for ~4h as to not start a subpage move war) (new code will be uploaded to the github for reference SoonTM has been uploaded).

The whole reason I'm posting it here is because I'm not sure if this is considered a reasonable extension of the current task, or if I should start up more of a discussion beforehand. I've done testing here/here to confirm it works, but I don't want to just immediately roll it out without making sure.

It might just be me being over-careful like I've done before, but I thought I'd ask anyways. Thanks. Aidan9382 (talk) 14:05, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
