Archiving weirdness

User:Lowercase sigmabot III recently created Archive 5. However, this archive does not show up in the list of archives on this page. Even odder, the Archive 2, Archive 3, and Archive 4 pages do not exist. --Khajidha (talk) 13:56, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the bot-initialisation template was mis-configured. If someone moves /archive_5 to /archive_2 -- or merges it with archive_1, to taste -- then changes the counter=5 to counter=2 (or =1), I think order will be restored to the universe. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 05:41, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The archive list doesn't know about gaps in a numbering sequence - it assumes that if Archive 2 doesn't exist, then nor will any other archives with higher numbers. lowercase sigmabot III has always used Archive 5, this is because Flyer22 Frozen (talk · contribs) set |counter=5 in this edit. Yes, the best fix is to amend |counter=5 to |counter=2 and move Archive 5 to Archive 2 without creating a redirect; if a redir is created, it may safely be blanked, or perhaps deleted under WP:CSD#G6. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:45, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

All

Done now. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:40, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
