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.
Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:
Hello Internet is an audio podcast hosted by educational YouTube content creators Brady Haran and CGP Grey. The podcast debuted in 2014 and released 136 numbered episodes and 18 unnumbered episodes until February 2020, when the last episode was published. The podcast is currently indefinitely suspended and inactive. Listeners of the podcast are known as “Tims”. The episodes of the podcast are usually about the interests of the creators and the differences between the hosts’ lifestyles.
@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.
Great job! What about mentioning the bot in the response to a comment that has a Wikipedia link.
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:
Testing to see if the subscription bot works with Voyager’s auto complete @PostWatchBot@lemy.lol
