aWa

Your aWa script is very helpful in keeping the size of RFD &c. down, but when archiving old discussions, for example [1], it gives overlong commit messages, with the effect that we can only see whither the first four discussions are archived. Could you please find a solution for this?

Which would be? If you know enough about programming to use "commit message" to refer to an edit summary, I think you can come up with a solution yourself.

Whoops, heh. Yeah, I meant edit summary. I asked because it was your script, but the solutions I see are either limiting the script to make only a certain number of archivings at once, or else leaving a link to the archived discussion on the RFD page. Do either of these sound acceptable?

My script? Oh please. I seriously need to hand it over to someone else.

The latter would probably defeat the point of archiving (since you have to later edit these links out anyway).

The former would require either limiting the number of discussions the user can pick (which is inconvenient) or the saving part of the script to undergo a nontrivial re-write. Which it might be in need of anyway, so maybe.
