User 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 verifycommand 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

Requirements to add a recent changes webhook:
- The wiki needs to run on MediaWiki 1.30 or higher.
