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.

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:

Ohh ok that’s fair. I just feel like barely anyone will remember to use it

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.
