+Bot
This bot already operates on en.wiki, pl.wiki and commons. It is a bot that performs automated archiving of discussion pages, as explained here. I am setting it up per request of Whiteknight. It could use a flag to utilize the mechanism that minor edits by bots do not trigger the orange "New messages" bar. Миша 13 16:45, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I requested the use of this bot to help us with some page archiving tasks around here. The script has been tested pretty extensively on wikipedia and commons, so i figured it would be a good choice to utilize here. Since it is well tested, I would advocate giving this account the flag without requiring a demonstration of it's abilities. Ideally, it could be used for automatically archiving a large list of talk and discussion pages (user talk pages included). --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 18:09, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * what determines the pages to archive? what determines when its time to archive a page? how frequently does it archive? --dark lama  18:15, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * All pages that transclude User:MiszaBot/config are targeted. As explained in the instructions, threads are archived when they reach a certain age (as defined by the newest timestamp), which is fully configurable on a per-page basis. It runs once per day, but has a (configurable) minimum of two threads to archive on one run, so shouldn't edit too often either. Миша 13 19:31, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * - A well-defined purpose and need with this bot. Will we only be using the first version of the bot, or all three? -within focus 18:44, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * On en.wiki it is really 3 bots running the same version - they only divided up the whole site by namespaces (I - article talk, II - Wikipedia-related, III - User talk). Миша 13 19:31, 8 October 2007 (UTC)


 * per above comments. – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 22:24, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

 * - A good, safe bot that could save us a lot of time and work. Urbane   (Talk)   (Contributions)  06:02, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * ✅ bot flag granted. -- SB_Johnny | PA! 13:08, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * - I've granted the flag due to clear support and percieved need. I would urge, however, that the archiving be run after 2 or 3 weeks, rather than the one week on wikipedia. We're kinda slow here sometimes :). -- SB_Johnny | PA! 13:08, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

-Bot
As a logic consequence of the bot's reported dysfunction since late March and in face of an alternative offering by Whym to run ArchiverBot in the same function, the bot flag should be removed from the previous bot (User:Misza13 hasn't registered an email but the bot account has one). I see no problem in running the two procedures in parallel but this one should be closed before we resolve Whym's request. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 01:18, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Sure, perfectly reasonable to take away the old bot's bit (say that three times fast). Though I don't think the old bot is ever going to do anything again, so it's mostly a formality, not to leave an extra bit lying around.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 01:25, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Even though this is in the wrong section. If someone does wake MiszaBot up again, we want to be aware of that if ArchiverBot is active. Chazz (talk) 03:23, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Fixed (wrong section, moved disc. up to the removal header). --Panic (discuss • contribs) 04:04, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
