Hey, is there a bot that archives messages marked with this template? I know Commons uses something like that and I imagine we had something at some point, but it's hard to find anything about it. czar 23:11, 17 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

To answer my own question, see User:ClueBot III/ArchiveThis. It's currently handling the threads at WP:RX. czar 19:22, 4 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

The last changes in 2014 broke the default usage, e.g., {{Resolved|Updated both articles with 2007 data per clear consensus; they are now in sync. ~~~~}}:

Resolved

And now requires |1=. But since it was done in 2014 and the documentation hasn't been updated since then, I'm not sure whether the best course of action is to revert the 2014 change that hadn't been implemented in the documentation or to update the documentation to match the change. I think it was smarter in its prior iteration, though it could be feasibly updated to take either param.  czar 19:20, 4 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Czar: It would probably be best if it supported both, so all uses of it in archives and so forth would work. Also pinging SMcCandlish, who made the change. Graham87 08:44, 5 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Those changes didn't break anything; all they did is permit either numeric or word-based parameter names, without changing either parameter. Before the changes, one parameter required a number (or nothing) and the other required a word (or nothing, but it had to be second), which was confusing and inconsistent. A |1= or |reason= is only required if your sig (or the text of the message) include a = character, as many custom sigs do (e.g. in a <span style="something...">...</span>. Demonstration that it works as intended:

{{Resolved|This is the message|Boo-yah}}

Boo-yah

 – This is the message

{{Resolved|2=Boo-yah|1=This is the message}}

Boo-yah

 – This is the message

{{Resolved|reason=This is the message|text=Boo-yah}}

Boo-yah

 – This is the message

I've updated the documentation.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  08:10, 10 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
