# wiki-postbot

Bot to crosspost from chat clients and microblogs using an extended wikilink syntax to the (media)wiki.

eg. say `Hey what up i'm [[wikilinkin]]` in slack, and embed that message with a backlink on the `wikilinkin` page.

Sorry for the extremely crappy docs and code structure y'all, this was supposed to be an internal tool for like 5 different projects, so i have done nothing yet to make it readable or reusable. the best way to understand this package for now would probably be to work backwards from the script entrypoints (see https://git.jon-e.net/jonny/wiki-postbot/src/branch/main/pyproject.toml#L11 ).

> this is not a model directed project, since it hasn't been intended to outlive the immediate circumstances each time, but it ends up doing so anyway.
