{{ BAGAssistanceNeeded}} I don't want to be pushy, but in this particular instance the bot is replacing a function that used to be provided by a user script, and the user script has been deactivated in a way that is not easily reversible. In the absence of both the bot and the user script, no archiving is taking place. It would be great if someone could take a quick look at this, and either approve it or allow an extended trial while it's in the process of being examined. Thanks. ‑Scottywong | communicate _ 15:38, 2 November 2012 (UTC) reply
