Copy and pasted the templates provided here:
http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/designer/pagination-static.html
Saved and published them. Tried the pagination links (which appeared via the new templates) and received the following errors:
"Template must have identifier main_index for Index archive type" (when &archive_type=Index)
"Template must have identifier entry_listing for non-Index archive types" (when &archive_type=Category)
This is on 4.34-en with: Community Pack 1.62, Professional Pack 1.21
Wondering if anyone has a solution to this _specific_ problem? (I'm *not* interested in using a third-party a plug-in). I've searched the forums, MT site, and the bug database to no avail.
There appear to be lots of other reports of these problems:

P.S. Note to forum user Mihai Bocsaru. I am _not_ looking for a plug-in, please do *not* respond to this post -- marking it as "answered" -- unless you have a solution to the _specific_ problem listed above. Thanks in advance. :-)

Open your main index template from your manage templates screen, then click 'Template Options' at the bottom. There should be an option to select the type of template, this should be 'main_index' (it is probably 'custom' right now).
For the other one (the category archive): delete it and create a new archive (not index, not module) template, making sure to create one of type 'Entry Listing' (not 'Page' or 'Entry'; there are three 'create' options for archives).
Hi Maarten,
"There should be an option to select the type of template, this should be 'main_index' (it is probably 'custom' right now)."
Actually, it's set to main_index, hence my confusion about the error.
"For the other one (the category archive): delete it and create a new archive (not index, not module) template, making sure to create one of type 'Entry Listing' (not 'Page' or 'Entry'; there are three 'create' options for archives)."
Same story: correct settings, no reason for the error. I'm pretty certain this is a bug, and not a settings problem.
Anyway, the solution I found is posted here:
