[Pywikipedia-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T148013: Provide an option to prevent archiving if the archive page to be created would have no incoming link from the original page

whym added a comment.

I can't think of a case where we would want to allow auto archiving if the archive page to be created would have no incoming link from the original page.

Some wikis might have other means to add links to subpages dynamically. I can think of an automatically-loaded site _javascript_ (written in [[MediaWiki:Common.js]]) to show a list of the current page's subpages into the sidebar. In such cases, the lack of static wiki-links might not be an issue. Note also that this bot is intended to be used on non-Wikimedia wikis as well. This is why I think it is preferable to make the feature optional.
