Cases like this are not supported, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:15th_%28Imperial_Service%29_Cavalry_Brigade {{User:MiszaBot/config |algo=old(7d) |archive={{subst:15th (Imperial Service) Cavalry Brigade}}/Archive %(counter)d |counter=1 |maxarchivesize=70K |archiveheader={{talk archive navigation}} |minthreadstoarchive=1 |minthreadsleft=0 }} Another case is when page has been moved and archive= is the old name (i.e. a redirect to the new name.

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?

Would you mind splitting it out as another request? On Point 1 I submitted this after trying to do what you did on that Talk page.

(your edit didn't remove the parentheses, and my Comment #1, too.) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:15th_%28Imperial_Service%29_Cavalry_Brigade&diff=608539436&oldid=593019435
ooops, I did not notice that ...
So It was not a problem on the bot's side. (In reply to Mpaa from comment #0) > Another case is when page has been moved and archive= is the old name (i.e. > a redirect to the new name. This point was not related thus not addressed. I invite another request if needed.
