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.

      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
