  • /wiki cron TEXTID TIME - configure posting time(s) for TEXTID text. TIME could be one of two formats. First, it could be "h1" (every hour), "h2" (every two hours), "h3", "h4", "h6" or "h12" Example: /wiki cron TEXTID h4. Second, it might be list of hour:minutes pairs delimited by comma. Example: /wiki cron TEXTID 12:00,13:05,16:20.

  • /wiki preview TEXTID MODE - enable/disable web page preview. MODE must be "yes" or "no". It is enabled by default. Example: /wiki preview faq no
  • wiki showmsg TEXTID - immediately send to the chat a message. With this command you can check that robot renders your scheduled message in the right way.

All these commands have to be entered in chatroom where @wikirobot is installed. Do not send these commands in private messages to @wikirobot.

Scheduling Text Posting

Suppose you want to post chat rules each midnight and noon.

  1. First write rules as new message to chat.

  2. Then reply to this message with command /wiki setmsg rules

  3. Now @wikirobot remembered text by "rules" id. Use this id to setup posting time: /wiki cron rules 00:00,12:00. Be aware that @wikirobot operates with UTC time. So, for example, if your chat timezone is GMT+3, then you have to use these times: /wiki cron rules 21:00,09:00.

  4. If you want @wikirobot to pin a message, use this command: /wiki pin rules yes
