Later archives are not linked

{{talkarchivenav}} no longer shows later archives, see e.g. MediaWiki talk:Common.js/Archive 21. The list stops at Archive 21, even though Archive 22 and Archive 23 both exist. I don't know when it stopped working as intended. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 09:39, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

@Redrose64, the root cause of the issue is that at Special:PrefixIndex/MediaWiki talk:Common.js/Archive, pages MediaWiki talk:Common.js/Archive 3, MediaWiki talk:Common.js/Archive 4 ... MediaWiki talk:Common.js/Archive 13 don't exist. This causes Module:Highest archive number to fail in the middle of its search.
Archiving was done in following ways:
A solution could be to unify the archival numbering system. Move:

Implemented the proposed moves in these edits. The links to further archives at MediaWiki talk:Common.js/Archive 21 have been fixed. —⁠andrybak (talk) 23:11, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
Thank you, although it would be great if AAN could handle gaps in sequence. For example, if used on /Archive 22 it should always check for the existence of /Archive 23, regardless of whether /Archive 3 ... /Archive 13 exist or not. The pre-Lua version did this, IIRC. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:09, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Overflowing

I've noticed that on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 439, while logged out and in the new Vector 2022 skin with the "standard" text appearance, the horizontal list of archives overflows off the right edge for certain screen widths. Can this be fixed? PBZE (talk) 22:52, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

It's not specific to Vector 2022, it happens with all skins when the available width is less than the width required. It just shows up more obviously with Vector 2022 because of the patronisingly-narrow width that has been forced on us "because people have difficulty reading long lines of text". --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:03, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
