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.
