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.

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.
