This page contains summary of the task which would be done by bot for archiving ip talk pages:
in {} is highlighted what needs to be fixed / discussed
Bot also watches its /Shutdown page for a changes, when someone change it, it terminate all tasks and shut down for 1 hour, then respawn, if page is still changed, it shutdown again
The bot could keep a count of the total number of warnings that have ever been removed from each specific page - ie it could add the number removed during a specific run, and if it'd previously archived that same page, then the old count could be added. (probably, the bot would get that number from its own previous edit-summary)
That way, we can a) add a <small> text somewhere in the replacement text saying e.g. "A bot has archived 42 stale warning messages from this page" and b) the count can appear in the bot's edit summary.
This would alleviate concerns such as A relatively slow vandal will maybe come once a week, and will every time get a low level warning, however, that now gets obscured too much as old warnings are archived [1] Chzz ► 18:45, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
