Is liquid threads working?

I just now looked at the discussion page for Facilitating Online: http://wikieducator.org/Talk:Facilitating_Online
And the links to the archive are inconsistant. One link says there is no archive, and the other says there is. If you click the one that shows the talk archive, you lose the link to the original article (red link). Sorry if I'm behind in an update on this.

Hi Leigh -

It's nearing my bedtime here in Vancouver and need to log off pretty
soon.

I see the problem and have reported it here:
http://www.wikieducator.org/Thread:Problem/bug_report_in_WikiEducator%27s_main_list_%281%29

Looks like a bug - thanks for the report.

This is not a bug - the /Archive link in the header is simply the
archive of the old talk page (pre-LiquidThreads).

So /Archive and Archive are now seperate post LT?
I think the bug exists in the broken link to the article when one clicks into /Archive...

Leigh , Erik

I see the problem now.

Yip it is a bug that was introduced when bringing back the Article tab
when in a thread.

Erik - the When on the backup page of pre LQT discussions i.e.
Article:Talk/archive - The Article tab is looking for Article/archive
instead of Article.

Thanks for reporting this.

Cheers
Wayne

Oh I see, but the article link being empty is a bit confusing (this is essentially a talk page of an empty sub page ... sounds odd even to describe). How hard would it be to automatically put a redirect from every empty /Archive subpage, which has a used talk page,  to the parent?
This would be a one off.
Also it is mildly irritating that the "discussion" link is now never red even for articles that have no talk. I always end up clicking to see what's been said, but realising its just empty LQT. Is this an easy fix?

Again, this is not an LQT bug or even a bug at all - it's the way
subpages behave (you'll see the same on Wikipedia talk page archives).
Imagine you have a User:Foo/Something subpage - the
User_talk:Foo/Something would backlink via the "article" to
User:Foo/Something but, if that doesn't exist, redlink there. That's
what's happening.
