=== Category:Pages where archive parameter is not a subpage ===
One limitation of the way automatic archival instructions are set up is how page moves will easily break the functionality. For several reasons, the bots will generally only archive to subpages; that is, the archive must reside as one or more subpages to the talk page in question.
 
When a page is renamed (moved) and the user forgets to also update the bot instructions, this means that no further archiving will take place (until the bot instructions are updated manually). In order toTo facilitate identifying cases where archiving is interrupted, the [[:Category:Pages where archive parameter is not a subpage]] was created.
 
If your talk page isn't archiving properly, you might want to check this category. If your page is included, this suggestsindicates that the specified archive pages are incorrect.
