Function details: The bot will remove all instances of the parameters |archive_bot=, |archive_age=, |archive_units=, |minthreadsleft= from all occurences of {{Talk header}}.
The search may contain some false positives; the bot will skip those where it doesn't make any changes, of course.

SD0001, Trial complete. See these 100 contributions. I did around a third on the user talk namespace because that's probably going to be the most contentious area; only something like 300 user talk pages actually need fixing. — Qwerfjkltalk 13:59, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Noticed an issue, possibly related to leading blanks; see here. Mathglot (talk) 03:27, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Mathglot, ah, I didn't realise any of the parameters that needed removing had aliases. Any others I need to watch out for? — Qwerfjkltalk 07:11, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per this diff, all the params that start with the string archive_ have an alias without the prefix; thus the alias of |archive_bot=is|bot=, and so on. Param |minthreadsleft= has no alias. Here are some examples. Mathglot (talk) 02:06, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Be aware that {{Archives}} is a different template that also has those same four params (well, the three aliases plus minthreads); see Template:Archives#Alphabetically. So it's more like 25k excluding those, which presumably the bot code will do. Mathglot (talk) 14:14, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, the 25k estimate is too hig, also, as that search is picking up plenty of articles like Talk:Ronald Reagan which have the talk header but no params at all. This one gives 11.5k, so maybe that's closer? Mathglot (talk) 15:28, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
