1. If the request is to allow templates to be used inside the "archive"
argument, I'm not sure if there are many use cases.  The provided example
doesn't seem to be a good one to explain the need.  I don't see what you
expected by having "archive={{subst:15th (Imperial Service) Cavalry
Brigade}}/Archive %(counter)d".  Why not simply use "archive=Talk:15th
(Imperial Service) Cavalry Brigade}}/Archive %(counter)d"?

2. Making the bot to follow redirection sounds like a legitimate enhancement. 
Would you mind splitting it out as another request?
