Hello, your tool seems to be very useful. I'd like to suggest a feature to make it even more useful in a unique way: reviving archived threads.
It would need to detect that archival pages via an archive template at the top of the page − mainly {{archive nav}} − and then instead of showing "archive" links show "revive" / "unarchive" links OR show this link as a button on the edit form of such pages. It would also be good if it detected whether discussions have been closed and not display the link for those.
I don't think it would be useful to build in functionality to revive multiple threads at once. An ideal way for thread-revival would be to open have the wikitext editor opened up where one can enter any new comments with a button to then revive the thread including the user's recently added message (as well as some info on the thread-revival maybe).
(The archive nav template shown on archival pages says: This is an archive of past discussions. Do not edit the contents of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on the current talk page.)
Please let me know what you think of this suggestion and whether you consider building it into your script. Thank you for your work! (@Σ:)

Can you modify that archiver script to work on Commons??? Thanks - Atsme📞📧 21:10, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Selecting a level n header will now select all of the sub-headers that it contains. You no longer have to select those headers yourself. Cheers! →Σσς. (Sigma) 06:32, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
importScript seems to be on the road to deprecation and mediawiki suggests 'mw.loader' instead. MediaWiki: Migration Guide — Hei Liebrecht 19:10, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As a technophobe, the instructions don't make much sense. After following the instructions, I seem to have created a page, somewhere, I don't know where, which has an opaque function. Waste of time. Urselius (talk) 12:28, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I spent half an hour figuring out how to "select threads", as it says in the documentation, until I found out that buttons should appear next to the section titles through my alternative account (which does not have QuickEdit enabled). Couldn't the script be implemented more independently from other section buttons, as the mentioned OneClickArchiver is? 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 13:55, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Can the "Set up automatic archiving" be configured to use ClueBot instead of MiszaBot? --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:34, 29 August 2020 (UTC) (please

@Σ: It would be handy if there was a 'select all' feature. Do you think it's feasible to implement it? ~★ nmaia d 04:10, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
When I recently tried using this script, it created a few different errors that I had to fix manually [1][2]. Could this be resolved? {{u|Sdkb}} talk 22:25, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Can this script be made available on Wikispecies? Or via global.js on meta? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:06, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
mw.loader.load('//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Σ/Testing facility/Archiver.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript'); does not work? ~~~~ | This edit requesttoUser:Σ/Testing facility/Archiver.js has been answered. Set the |answered=or|ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Change Line 58 to summary:『[[User:Σ/Testing facility/Archiver|Archy McArchface]] removed 』+ numOfThreads + " threads to [[" + archiveTarget + "]]"
Change Line 62 to summary:『[[User:Σ/Testing facility/Archiver|Archy McArchface]] added threads from [[』+ mw.config.get("wgPageName") + "]]"
This edit will add the name of the archive script to the edit summary, thus, helping other editors who view the edit history to identify and use this script. (This script allows archiving to all archive title formats and not just "User talk:Example/Archive x" like the other archive scripts. I expect it to help many editors if advertised within summaries.) ---CX Zoom(he/him) (let's talk|contribs) 18:51, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not done as this is a personal user script of a current user, of course if @Σ: would like to change their script for your suggestion they are welcome to. — xaosflux Talk 19:00, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Inthis diff I've repaired a couple of threads that were broken on Wikispecies (and added {{Archive top}}). I can see no obvious cause. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:49, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
