*Subreddit moderators are empowered to enable/disable subreddit specific modes for AutoWikiBot.**

Glossary:

**Summon only mode:** When ON, will only respond when summoned[1] by user, and not to any wikipedia links found in comments
**Root only mode:** When ON, will respond to root comments only. (Root comments are comments which are reply to the post directly and not to other comments.)

Both modes can be enabled at same time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commands:

These will take effect immediately. (I recommend you copy-paste the commands.)

*NOTE:** Please make sure /u/autowikibot is not in 'banned users' list before issuing any of the following commands.

*Where to issue: Put it as a ROOT comment anywhere in the subreddit i.e. as reply to some post directly, not to other comments.**

Tips:

0. If you want to switch ON/OFF in many subs, simply message me[2] the list. I will be happy to process it manually. Although, if you want it to be effective immediately, I recommend using automatic switches.

You can **collapse** comments posted by AutoWikiBot by default using ready-made CSS code available here.

2. If you unban the bot from your sub and don't want to enable summon only / root only, issue a dummy **OFF** command:

`wikibot moderator switch: summon only: off`. It will trigger the bot to resume comment processing for your sub.

3. If you want any other switches, leave me a message[3]. I'll try to code it in my free time.

Moderator requests:

Prevent chaining of wikibot summons, which create long threads. - /u/aperson via PM

Done. Won't reply if grandparent comment is autowikibot's own comment. Also, limit is set at **5 comments / submission.** Both of these are active everywhere by default.

You need to take out the /u/ from your message links :)

Also, it's not clear what to do with these commands. Does the bot read a wiki page in the subreddit? Do you message the bot?
