Function details: Every Sunday, this bot will archive Wikipedia:Goings-on to a new week subpage, following the instructions at Template:Editnotices/Page/Wikipedia:Goings-on. This task is a duplicate of EnterpriseyBot's task 6. EnterpriseyBot has not ran this task since February of last year. GO is frequently backlogged, so a new bot doing archivals would be welcomed.

@DreamRimmer:

Trial complete. The bot ran perfectly, save the first two weeks (due to human error :V). On the first week, the edit got lost in a tragic OAUTH accident, as I generated the tokens for my personal account instead of the bot account, and by the time I debugged it, Armbrust had already archived the page. For week two, the edit did go through, but with a delay, since I forgot that editors need to be autoconfirmed in order to move pages, and had to request confirmed rights at PERM before manually running the bot task. – 🌻 Hilst (talk | contribs) 18:29, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
