archive indexing wiki-bot idea edit
Idea for archive indexing wiki-bot:
Will go through all of my archives, take all of the section headings, and index them on one page.
The idea being that somebody looking for a specific section from an old link(linking to a section no longer on my userapge) will see a notice saying
If you are looking for a section that has already been archived you can look for it in the index of archived sections
This index will have every section title linked to it's location in it's archive. If the same section title is on more than one archive title then it will be given a link for each archive.
Example:
- Atomic power - Archive 1
- Irish - Archive 2
- RfA thanks - Archive 1 (2 sections with this name in archive 1)
- RfA thanks - Archive 2
- thanks - Archive 3
- Welcome! - Archive 1
This can also do the same for other users. Parameters would include a mask for the archives in printf format, and the target location for the result of the indexing. The user can add themselves to a category and define their parameters in HTML comments like so:
{{User:HighInBCBot/Archive_index_opt_in}}<!-- ARCHIVES=User:HighInBC/Archive%d target=User:HighInBC/Archive_index -->
