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.
Testing to see if the subscription bot works with Voyager’s auto complete @PostWatchBot@lemy.lol
Does it work if i use Voyagers auto complete function for @‘s? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_Internet
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
About that, well, read this conversation I had with another user that mentioned your idea:
Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:

@wikibot@lemmy.world tell me about Jammie Dodgers
Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:
Jammie Dodgers are a popular British biscuit, made from shortcake with a raspberry or strawberry flavoured jam filling. Introduced in 1960, they are currently produced by Burton’s Biscuit Company at its factory in Llantarnam. In 2009, Jammie Dodgers were the most popular children’s sweet biscuit brand in the United Kingdom, with 40% of the year’s sales consumed by adults.
Sorry, I could not get the wikipedia summary for the wikipedia link mentioned in your comment.
Sorry, seems like the link extraction regex is a bit broken. Will fix it soon.
Edit: Fixed. See your comment again.
The bot was doing exactly that a few days ago when I got a suggestion by an user and decided to rewrite the main program to only respond to mentions. Not only does this make the program less error prone, but also smaller and more efficient. I’ll keep it this way.
Mention work OK
Thought bot will show up on Kbin but didn’t
There is some issues that some users aren’t showing up on kbin.social but wanted to test it anyway.
