Archiving Template:Archive top and Template:Archive bottom

Category talk:American novelists was repeatedly archived to Category talk:American novelists/Archive 1 with this change:

{{archive top|...}} → {{tl|archive top|...}}

The corresponding {{archive bottom}} was not adjusted in any way, which results in a stripped <div> each time.

If there is a Wikipedia policy or guideline somewhere saying what to do with {{archive top|...}} upon archiving, please link to it here and ping me. In any event, I believe we should "tl" either both or neither the top and the bottom templates. —Anomalocaris (talk) 08:30, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

@Cobi: I've been waiting a week for a response. —Anomalocaris (talk) 11:05, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

@Cobi: I would like a response. —Anomalocaris (talk) 08:56, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

@Anomalocaris: Apologies for butting in, but just to advise that Cobi hasn't edited since 2 November last year, unfortunately. Perhaps raise this at the bot noticeboard in the absence of its operator? ——SN54129 10:20, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

@Serial Number 54129: Thank you for your suggestion. I went ahead and edited Category talk:American novelists changing each occurrence of

{{tl|archive top|...}} → {{archive top|...}}

as the discussions were before archiving. —Anomalocaris (talk) 19:52, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

This is documented behavior:

“ archivenow

Type: comma delimited array of strings
Default: ""
Description: This optional parameter should contain a comma separated list of strings for which ClueBot III will search within the threads on the page. If any of these strings are found in a thread, the bot will archive the thread immediately. The bot will also convert {{templates}} in this list to {{tl|escaped templates}} upon archival. This could be useful for pages where {{resolved}} or such is used. The {{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}} blank template is available for this use. However, it has no special properties. It is only just another string that happens to be a template for which ClueBot III can be told to search. In addition to the following typical usage, an example of its use is shown below.
Typical usage: |archivenow=<nowiki>{{tlu|User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}}</nowiki>

@Rich Smith and DamianZaremba: West.andrew.g reports that the ClueBot NG IRC relay has been down for two days, affecting tools that rely on it. Could you have a look? —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 14:38, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

False positive reviewing

I'm interested in assisting with reviewing false positives. How could I help with that? TK421bsod (talk) 20:07, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

The Dataset Review Interface is currently broken and has been for some time. Cobi is there any other way that editors can help?-- 5 albert square (talk) 22:56, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
