Orphaned talkpage deletion bot Problem

Somebody (or somebodies, I haven't looked into who yet) has configured ClueBot III incorrectly for talk page archiving. This has caused ClueBot III to archive a whole bunch of talk pages at "Talk:Page 1" instead of "Talk:Page/Archive 1". Your bot is deleting those archive pages. This is content that really needs to be kept and moved to the correct place. ClueBot III should protect against this, but it would also be good for your bot to check for this. If a page is created by one of the archiving bots and is linked to from another page (especially from ClueBot's index pages), it's probably something that needs to be fixed vs. deleted. There are quite a few pages that need restoration and fixing. I'll put a similar note at ClueBot III's talk to ask it's operator to put a check in place. I'll also post a note at WP:AN to see if people want to help with the clean-up. -- JLaTondre (talk) 19:48, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

More infos, pls! And why deleting?

I just stumbled about the fact that there is a bot deleting orphaned talk pages. But where is more info about what he does? And did the community approve this? Lastly, why delete pages, instead of listing the links on the user pages, which looks like a much more helpful approach to me? Gray62 (talk) 10:15, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes she (bots are like ships :P) is approved. "why delete pages, instead of listing the links on the user pages" why waste admin time when a bot can do just as good a job? There is a shortage of admins so any bot that can help clear out the backlogs is a good idea IMO. --Chris 11:35, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
