Help me!

ClueBot III archives my talk page. I regret that I asked for such frequent archiving. I've looked at several pages trying to figure out how to make the bot visit me less frequently, but haven't found an answer (that I can understand). Please help me with that.

A related question: On my wandering looking for help, I saw an archive box I liked -- can't find it again (of course). It has one line per year, like this:

2010 JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC

2011 JAN FEB ETC.

where each month that contains anything is clickable. I presume that there is also a keyword search. Do you know how to make that compact table of my current system? Thank you very much!

As far as I am aware, there's really only {{archive box}}, which can be coded to display pretty much any configuration of archive names and locations you'd like. There's a fair amount of information at this subsection for archives, which might have been what you saw originally. I'll leave the helpme for the Cluebot stuff, since I don't use it.

Cluebot cannot visit the page less frequently, but you can increase the time threads are left on the page by changing the |age= bit in the cluebot config. As for the archive box, I believe you are refering to {{Month-year archive nav}}, I can knock something together if you want it included in another wrapper, just let me know what needs combining :) Mdann52 (talk) 17:33, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

I have added a line that tells the bot to only archive your talk page if there are at least four threads to be archived; if you still feel it visits you too often, you can increase that number. If you simply want the bot to leave messages on your talk page for longer, you could change the age= parameter.

Regarding the archivebox, how about this? The disadvantage is that you'll have to manually add a line once per year. On the plus side, your numbered archives are included, too. I've also removed the {{MonthlyArchive}} template which didn't seem to work as intended, but apparently ate into the number of expensive parser calls allowed on this page, yielding a warning.

Wow! Thank you all, @Primefac:, @Mdann52:, @Huon:! This helpme system is a godsend. I've only used it a few times (once someone wrote that s/he couldn't help, but added "helped" anyway -- an eager newbie presumably); it gets better and better! In this case, I spent a lot of time searching and reading, wrote helpme in frustration and went to bed. Halfway thru the day's first cup of coffee, I discovered all your help. Many points added to "sense of community". It's like magic! --Hordaland (talk) 17:20, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Removing first line " { { Archive box " and last line " } } " from this version of archive box, in hopes that ClueBot uses the one at the top of the page, when that time comes. --Hordaland (talk) 01:59, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Somnolence

Dude, you can't have a diagnosis of somnolence. Would it make sense to say you can have a diagnosis of hunger, for example? Somnolence is just somnolence. It's a symptom (if you don't consider natural causes of somnolence, like being tired). Outedexits (talk) 06:01, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

I'll keep the paragraph because it is well referenced now, but I'll see where I'll put it. Outedexits (talk) 06:10, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
