message: Is there any way to truncate this template on the last archive, so a redlink to a nonexistant archive doesn't appear?  /Blaxthos 21:12, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's an bug in  that is that it cant handle sub-pages. →AzaToth 21:15, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I think having the redlink is useful; it shows people where to put the next archive, it makes sure they call it "Archive 3" rather than "archive 3", "Archive3", "Archive/3" or something like that - because if they did, the link wouldn't work – Gurch 09:23, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

text: On second thoughts, I think for human edited pages like this is used on, the red link is handy. --kingboyk 19:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I made the change to enable a dynamic list of up to 20 pages, instead of the older static display of three fixed pages. Any problem? →AzaToth 23:22, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  design 

message: As some old archives were named incorrectly (e.g. "archive2" instead of "Archive 2"), I have added the possibility to use custom pagenames with optional "prev" and "next" fields. I suppose no bugs should result from this. Súrendil 18:26, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I could make it so that it only displays if the page actually exists. But would this be desirable in every case? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:20, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Problem

message: I am not sure how the template should intend to look like since the documentation has not been updated, but the transclusion on Wikipedia talk:Requested templates/Archive 1 looks wrong to me:
Is this intended or not? ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 14:09, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: No... no it is not. Izno (talk) 15:38, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: While that isn't intended it isn't exactly the mergers fault either. It was broken before as well. Both the old and the new template is supposed to take a parameter specifying the archive number which wasn't provided here. The default then is 5 for backwards compatibility with . Only archives one and two exist so 3 and 4 are red links and this hidden. 6 is shown to make it easy to create the next archive when used properly. Will fix all similar cases I can find tonight. --Trialpears (talk) 17:23, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: All related errors should be fixed except for those that would be time consuming to fix and was present before the merger in User talk space and historical pages. --Trialpears (talk) 21:27, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  User talk:Godsy/Archive/2021 shows an example of the template not working, if and in your statement is taken to be inclusive. I find this change unacceptable if these errors cannot be remedied (and thereby oppose the merge retroactively). — Godsy (TALKCONT) 07:47, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've fixed the issue. I really shouldn't have missed such an obvious thing. The old prev/next implementation has some weird quirks (If you say created User talk:Godsy/Archive everything would break) and would definitely not be how I would design it but now it supports that as well. --Trialpears (talk) 08:23, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks -- The template now functions properly (it looks slightly different than before, but that is something I can deal with). — Godsy (TALKCONT) 17:32, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Potential problem with the merge 

message: I noticed that many pages transcluding this template (listed at Special:WhatLinksHere/Archive 2) incorrectly show a redlink to the mainspace page Archive 2 instead of the actual Archive 2 subpage. This happens whenever the markup  appears on the page. The template needs to be fixed so that the pages using that markup correctly link to the Archive 2 subpage instead of showing a redlink to Archive 2. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 00:18, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
