An ideal implementation would have to resolve issues such as:
- How can we automatically decide the location {{archive box auto}} in the wiki text of the talk page? Under which templates, or can it always be at the very top? Should it be specified via a template parameter as well?
- In this bot, we provide a variety of possible (non-default) naming schema of subpages for the user to choose, including "Talk:Page/Archive 2016", "Talk:Page/Archive/2016/January" and "Talk:Page/Archive 2016-01". In fact, it can be an arbitrary Python-style formatting string, given as a template parameter. I don't know if {{archive box auto}} can support everything. If not, the addition of {{archive box auto}} doesn't always help. It can even be more confusing than nothing, because it might incorrectly tell editors that there is no subpage as opposed to giving no information.
- There are several variants of {{archive box auto}}, such as {{archive box non-auto}} of Meta, among which only one should present in one page - preventing from the bot to place duplicated boxes is another difficulty (and again, the set of the relevant templates differ between wikis).
