I made this bot so that users who want to provide a quick summary of the wikipedia article they linked to in their comment can do so just by including a mention of the bot in their comment, and the bot will reply to the comment with the summary.

Currently multiple wikipedia links are not supported.

    Great job! What about mentioning the bot in the response to a comment that has a Wikipedia link.

      Well, that wasn’t something I have planned. For now, you can just take the wikipedia link from that parent comment, mention the bot with it and send it as a comment. Will implement that feature, thanks.

      I think bots like these should work without having to be mentioned since they’re so useful and unobtrusive.

      Could you elaborate further on that?

        Like itd be convenient if they worked whenever someone included a wiki link. So people didn’t have to remember to mention its username

              That indeed was my concern when I discussed this with the user that suggested this mention-only setup and also in the long text I sent to the user in the convo I sent you.

      The way you mentioned the bot is wrong. Try @wikibot@lemmy.world

          Another user also using kbin got it to work though. Interesting.

          Might be a federation issue. Could be related to LW still being on v18.5.0
