This page is about the Discord bot account. For bot accounts on Fandom, see Help:Bots.

Fandom's Wiki-Bot is a powerful Discord bot designed to enhance your community's experience by seamlessly integrating with your Fandom wiki. This versatile bot offers a range of features, including verification systems, recent changes relays, and customizable settings to tailor its behavior to your server's needs.

Getting started

1. Log in to your Discord account. Ensure your account has admin privileges on the server you want to configure.
2. Invite Wiki-Bot using this authorization link.
3. Select the server from the dropdown.
4. Enable all required permissions. (Manage Roles and Manage Webhooks are only required if you are using Wiki-Bot's verification system and recent changes relay, respectively.)
5. After inviting the bot, check if it is online in the server sidebar. It should have a green dot above its profile picture.
6. In the dedicated bot channel, send: /settings wiki:https://YOURWIKI.fandom.com to set the default wiki for your server.

Configuring the bot

After setting the default wiki, you can configure additional options using the commands highlighted below. You can also manage your server’s configuration via the Wiki-Bot configuration site.

For additional assistance, advanced configurations, or if you encounter technical issues, please contact DToast (dtoast on Discord).

Basic settings

Use the following commands to customize the bot’s behavior:

Recent changes relay

The recent changes relay automatically posts new edits from your wiki’s Recent changes and/or Social Activity Feed into a dedicated Discord channel.
