burgeonlab [artlung]: I think there's a duplicated Pacific HWC? https://events.indieweb.org/tag/pacific the second one is prob the correct one?
#
[artlung] Oh wow. I was looking at that earlier and confused myself. Yes there is Naty.
#
[artlung] I will fix
#

[capjamesg] !archive help
#
iwc-archive-bot Usage: !archive <event page URL, required> <slug for wiki page, optional>
#
[capjamesg] Great! The archiver now lets you specify a slug to be used when archiving a wiki page if you want. If one is not specified, it will be inferred.
#
jamesg.blog deleted /events/jamesg-test "created as test; no longer needed"
#
[burgeonlab] That's great [capjamesg], it would have been perfect for when we migrated Etherpads for both HWC: AP occasions.
#
[capjamesg] Yeah. We used to have this feature but it looks like I didn’t port it over when I changed the script from Perl to Python. Now we have the feature again 🙌
