Automatic archive bot parameter detection with human readable durations

These tests verify that correct value are supplied when a validly formatted Miszabot/config exists for the page. The template can determine all four values if present in the config, and uses them to automatically populate information about automatic archiving. Durations are displayed in a human-readable format in the direct text of the page, and the actual value set in the config is displayed in a tooltip (e.g. "3 years" in the text, "26000 hours" in the tooltip).

Expand to view description of how to run these tests

How to test

In the normal case, archiving is detected based on the presence or absence of an archive bot config (MiszaBot, Cluebot) on the page where the Talk header template is located, but since there is no archive bot config (and no Talk header template) on this page, automatic detection will not work here. To run these tests, we use Special:ExpandTemplates with field Context title set to any of several test pages, and then apply the tests. For example: set Context title to Talk Algeria and in the main, 'Input wikitext' section, just add:

LIVE

{{Talk header}}
-----
SANDBOX

{{Talk header/sandbox}}

to complete the test. Expected result: The header is displayed, including the right-justified archive notice:

Examples

To test the subtemplate directly, using only one param in the context of FULLPAGENAME, use Special:ExpandTemplates with ContextTitle set to the Talk page name (e.g., {{Talk:France}}) and the input field set to two template invocations, one with the live template (i.e., {{Talk header}}) and one with the sandbox version ({{Talk header/sandbox}}).

We can code tests in ExpandTemplates, and link them url-encoded here, which will provide a testcase embedded in the link and executed at ExpandTemplates, not here:

Test Template:Talk header in the context of the following Talk pages which use MiszaBot/config:

Test 1: Talk:France – expect 3 months (in-text), 90 days (tooltip), minthreads = 4

Test 2: Talk:Muammar Gaddafi – expect 2 months (in-text), 60 days (tooltip)

Test 3: Talk:Physics – expect 3 months (in-text), 100 days (tooltip), minthreads=4

Test 4: Talk:Noam Chomsky – expect 45 days, minthreads = 3

Test 5: Talk:Mustang – expect 2 months (in-text), 61 days (tooltip)

Alternatively, run the following tests setting the Context title to each Talk page in turn in the numbered tests below, after having pasted the following code (once) into the Input field at Special:ExpandTemplates:

These can be tested using Special:ExpandTemplates as explained in section 1. A. How to test above. Another way, is to click the top link in the 1.A § Examples section (Test 1. Talk:France), and then replace the context title at the top with the Talk pages listed in the test set above, and re-execute the test for each one.

Testing human readable time units

This section is about testing the display of time units in the archiving bot notice. This notice appears just above the 'Search archives' input box, and may read something like, Auto-archiving period: 30 days. The value '30 days'k ultimately comes from the archiving bot configuration on the Talk page, however, users have a choice of what units they wish to use, such as, 1 month, 30 days, 4 weeks, or even .0833 year.

Template {{human readable duration}} is responsible for generating the appropriate display value, and details of its functionality can be viewed there. The first step in testing this feature here, is to review the test cases there. Assuming they all pass, then spot-check a few cases here.

In situ test – find a test case from the search links or the lists, and do a pair of tests, comparing live and sandbox:

live: check the value given for the archiving period in the Talk header template, and compare to the expected value (if from the lists below) or compare to the expected value (as calculated at {{human readable duration}}).
sandbox: edit the talk page, append /sandbox after the {{Talk header invocation, and click the Show preview button. Then check the value as for the live example. Test passes, if the sandbox value = live value (except for initial version, when sandbox value will be accurate, and live will have the unfriendly value straight out of the config).

Miszabot configs with a 'days' period of 3 digits or more

To find Miszabot configs with a 'days' period of 3 digits or more on pages having a Talk header, use this search. Examples:

Talk:Avicenna = 900d ⟶ 2.5 years
Talk:Cascadia movement = 1826d ⟶ 5 years
Talk:Criticism of the BBC = 100d ⟶ 3 months
Talk:David (Michelangelo) = 3650d
Talk:Grey's Anatomy = 730d ⟶ 2 years
Talk:Iraq War = 183d ⟶ 6 months
Talk:Kim Kardashian = 1031d ⟶ 3 years
Talk:Liberty University = 365d
Talk:Ronda Rousey = 9000d ⟶ 24.5 years
Talk:Secondary school = 1095d ⟶ 3 years
Talk:T-34 = 5090d ⟶ 14 years
Talk:Shrek the Third = 5110d ⟶ 14 years
Talk:The Lost Tomb of Jesus = 36502d (no human readable given; no archives present; archiving text detail appears in plain view instead of in hover text)

Miszabot config only uses days; other values are invalid, but this search will find them (~~17, as of Nov. 2024~~) all fixed.

Cluebot III configs

Cluebot uses the age parameter, which is denominated in hours. Here are some handy conversions to hours, for use in searching for Talk pages with a specified range:

7d=168h; 30d=5040h; 120d=20160h; 122d=20496h; 180d=30240h; 183d=31744h; 365d=61320h; 730d=122640; 3y=183960; 5y=306600; 10y=613200

Searches for Talk pages having Cluebot archive configs with param |age= in selected ranges (denominated here in days for convenience; bot config is in hours only):

<= 7d (5 pages in the range 1–168 hours); e.g., Talk:Amritpal Singh=48; Talk:Murder of Laci Peterson=90; Talk:2023 Monterey Park shooting=168
8–30d (173) Talk:2018 Pakistani general election=720; Talk:Hot air balloon=2160 (almost all of them are 2160)
32–120d (10) Talk:Hyperlink=8760; Talk:Separated brethren=17520; Talk:Starfleet=8760
122-365d (1) e.g., Talk:Unisys=26297

Run in situ tests for Talk pages with Cluebot configs the same way as for Miszabot configs.

Examples:

Talk:Amritpal Singh 48/2 days/2 days
Talk:Murder of Laci Peterson 90/4/4
Talk:2023 Monterey Park shooting 168/7/7
Talk:2018 Pakistani general election 720/30/30
Talk:Hot air balloon 2160/90/3 months

Testing categorization of pages using deprecated archiving parameters

The update to the template to automate detection of archive bot parameters (see tests for #Automatic archive bot parameter detection above) opened the possibility of removing the bot display parameters |age=, |units=, |bot=, and |minthreadsleft=, which were formerly used for this purpose, and were deprecated in rev. 1223139724 of 10 May 2024.

Background

General introduction to deprecating and removing parameters from templates

In order to be able to more easily remove deprecated parameters from the Template code (manually or via bot) it is useful to categorize pages which call the template with deprecated parameters with a tracking category.

Templates which do not validate the passed parameter list do not need to go through a period where the parameters are first dperecated, and then removed; they can simply be removed from the code. Pages that transclude them may see changed behavior, but the templates will not cause an error because they use a parameter unused by the template. Pages that call the template with the now absent parameter can be updated at leisure, or not at all; it will not affect the performance of the template if the missing parameters continue to be passed; they will simply be ignored.

However, for templates like {{Talk header}} which do vaidate the full parameter list, a parameter cannot simply be removed, because it will cause pages with template calls that use a deprecated parameter to fail. In these cases, removing a parameter takes place in three stages:

disable the parameter – the template makes no more use of the parameter; whether it is passed or not, given a value or not, has no effect on the output of the template. The validation list is left in place, so that use of the parameter will not throw an error. This initiates the deprecation period.
remove the parameter from pages that use it – this could be a manual or bot operation, and involves finding all the pages that use the template with the deprecated parameter, and updating the page to remove the parameter from the template call. A tracking category may be helpful for facilitating removal. When there are no more pages that use the deprecated parameter, we can go to step three.
remove the parameter from the validation list in the template – Once there are no more uses of the deprecated parameter, the parameter may be removed from the validation list in the template, without causing any page to throw an error. When this is done, the process of removing the deprecated parameters is complete.

Parameters are only deprecated during the interval starting with the edit disabling the effect of a given parameter in the code, and the edit where the parameter is removed from the param validation list in the template, meaning it will throw an error if anyone attempts to add the deprecated parameter after that point.

This is the case, for example, in the deprecation of the bot display parameters |age=, |units=, |bot=, and |minthreadsleft=, which were deprecated in rev. 1223139724 of 10 May 2024.

Testing

The deprecated parameters which should cause categorization are: archive_age, archive_bot, archive_units, minthreadsleft, age, bot, and units.

Tests may be run either Special:ExpandTemplates, or in situ.

Testing involves checking whether talk header templates using any of the four deprecated archive bot parameters cause the page to be categorized properly into the category Category:Pages using Talk header with deprecated parameters. Categories are not displayed on this page, so testing cannot not take place here; rather, it can be done in situ or via Special:ExpandTemplates. For general considerations about this type of testing, please see section § Automatic archive bot parameter detection above, subsections § A. Testing with ExpandTemplates, and § C. Testing in situ.

Via Special:ExpandTemplates

Instructions for running categorization tests using Special:ExpandTemplates:

We can develop these tests for use in Special:ExpandTemplates. Each test has two parts, the Live, and the Sandbox test, which must each be pasted individually to Special:ExpandTemplates and run separately. (If they are both run at once, it will be impossible to determine whether the live, or the sandbox version of the template is responsible for categorization.)

In the initial release, only the sandbox test will cause categorization. In subsequent releases, both the Live and the Sandbox tests should cause categorization.

Here is one example: copy each half of the pair to ExpandTemplates individually, and run it alone:

LIVE
* {{tlg|talk header|archive_age{{=}}90|code=y|_show_result=y}}

SANDBOX
* {{tlg|talk header/sandbox|archive_age{{=}}90|code=y|_show_result=y}}

A successful test is one which shows the following at the bottom of the page, always for the Sandbox test, and also for the Live test in subsequent releases:

Hidden category: Pages using Talk header with deprecated parameters.

Note: For the purposes of these tests, you do not have to enter a talk pagename into the Context title field of ExpandTemplates. As this test is only about categorization and not about Talk header format, it doesn't matter what namespace or page this test is run as. That said, the Talk header may look odd if you don't provide a Context title, so the recommendation is to fill out Context title with the name of any talk page; Talk:France is as good as any for this purpose.

Tests D-1 through D-8

Here are eight tests which can be run via ExpandTemplates as described in this section:

Test D-1. param archive_age

LIVE
* {{tlg|talk header|archive_age{{=}}90|code=y|_show_result=y}}

In situ tests

Instructions for running categorization tests in situ

While the ExpandTemplates test cases test basic functionality, they are artificial, as the archive params rarely come singly like that. The in situ tests are performed directly at an article Talk page, in unpublished, page preview mode. Once the test result is noted, the page is abandoned, unpublished.

The basic idea, is to find pages that already contain a Talk page header with one or more deprecated bot archive parameters, and watch the hidden category behavior of the page in Preview mode, when substituting the sandbox template for the live template on the page; that is, by altering {{Talk header | ...}} to {{Talk header/sandbox | ...}} and previewing the result.

The first step is to find article talk pages that have the deprecated parameters. These two search links may help:

about 200 articles use the Talk header template with the parameter |age=
about 6 articles use the Talk header template with the parameter |bot= first

Test set E for testing categorizaiton for deprecated parameters in situ

Here is a test set of Talk pages having {{Talk header}} templates that use deprecated bot parameters, as follows:

E-1. Talk:Ringette – {{talk header|age=90|bot=ClueBot III}}
E-2. Talk:Hunting dog – {{talk header|age=360}}
E-3. Talk:Rap rock – {{talk header|age=90|bot=ClueBot III}}
E-4. Talk:Miss Universe 2010 – {{talk header|age=3|units=years}}
E-5. Talk:List of governors of Florida– {{talk header|age=90|units=days|minthreadsleft=2|bot=Lowercase sigmabot III}}
E-6. Talk:Angus Young – {{talk header|age= 30|bot=lowercase sigmabot III|units=days|minthreadsleft=2}}
E-7. Talk:Demographics of Turkey – {{talk header|age=1|units=years|minthreadsleft=2}}
E-8. Talk:Henry Morton Stanley – {{talk header|age=1|units=year|bot=lowercase sigmabot III}}
E-9. Talk:Design by contract – {{talk header|age=90|bot=Lowercase sigmabot III|units=days|minthreadsleft=5}}
E-10. Talk:Murdaugh family – {{talk header|age=180|bot=ClueBot III|units=days|minthreadsleft=4}}
E-11. Talk:William D. Boyce – {{talk header|age=2|bot=Lowercase sigmabot III|units=years}}

For each test, append /sandbox so the call reads {{tl|Talk header/sandbox |..., and Preview the page, checking for the category.

A successful in situ test is one which shows the following at the bottom of the page in Preview mode, always for the Sandbox test, and also for the Live test in subsequent releases:
