User Verification

See also: Verification

Using the !wiki verify <wiki username> command, users are able to verify themselves as a specific wiki user by using the Discord field on their wiki profile. If the user matches and user verifications are set up on the server, Wiki-Bot will give them the roles for all verification entries they matched.

Using the !wiki verification command, admins can add up to 10 verification entries on a server. Every verification entry allows for multiple restrictions on when a user should match the verification.

  • Channel to use the !wiki verify command in.
  • Role to get when matching the verification entry.
  • Required edit count on the wiki to match the verification entry.
  • Required user group to be a member of on the wiki to match the verification entry.
  • Required account age in days to match the verification entry.
  • Whether the Discord users nickname should be set to their wiki username when they match the verification entry.

See the admin commands or !wiki help verification on how to change the wiki verification entries on the server.

Recent Changes Webhook

See also: Recent changes webhook

Wiki-Bot is able to run a recent changes webhook based on RcGcDw by using the !wiki rcscript command. The recent changes can be displayed in compact text messages with inline links or embed messages with edit tags and category changes.

Requirements to add a recent changes webhook:

  • The wiki needs to run on MediaWiki 1.30 or higher.
  • The system message MediaWiki:Custom-RcGcDw need to be set to the Discord server id.
