Editable archives

It seems that the ANI archive pages (e.g. Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1173) have section edit links. This is not normal on archive pages: is it something special to ANI, or a mistake somewhere? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:00, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe {{Administrators' noticeboard navbox all}} can be taught to emit the flag to inhibit that, iff transcluded onto a "subpage" (or "a subpage containing the string 'archive'")? DMacks (talk) 20:43, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That wasn't too hard.[1] Which means I probably broke something as a side-effect. Trouts of various sizes welcome as appropriate. DMacks (talk) 16:01, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's suppressed the edit links, so

Thank you for that. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:05, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Broken code in blue "Administrators' Noticeboard/Incidents" box

At the bottom of it:

Closed discussions are usually not archived for at least 24 hours. Routine matters might be archived more quickly; complex or controversial matters should remain longer. Sections inactive for 72 hours are archived automatically by Lowercase sigmabot III. Editors unable to edit here are sent to the /Non-autoconfirmed posts subpage.

|- | class="plainlinks" style="border: 1px solid #aaaaaa; background: var(--color-inverted, #fff); text-align: center; font-size: 125%;" | Start a new discussion

Pretty sure the "|- | class= " etc. bit isn't supposed to be there. -The Bushranger _{One ping only} 04:51, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@The Bushranger: I think I fixed it. Jip Orlando (talk) 17:20, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
