WikiChatbot is a user script chatbot to assist editors and reviewers. It can summarize, reformulate, copyedit, and provide suggestions on additional topics, images, and wikilinks. It is used by selecting text in an article and then clicking one of the buttons on the right to enquire about the selected text. For example, the editor may select 3 paragraphs and then press the button "Summarize" to get a concise summary of the selected text. The responses are shown in the chat panel on the left bottom. This panel can also be used to type more specific questions about the selected text or the topic in general. WikiChatbot only provides ideas and suggestions. It does not make any changes to articles.
The script uses an AI model called GPT-4o by OpenAI. It sends the queries to the AI model and prints its responses in the chat window. Editors should be very careful when making edits to articles based on these responses. They often contain false information in the form of so-called hallucinations. There is a high risk of introducing original research into the article since the claims are frequently not verifiable. For these reasons, editors should always double-check the responses and should only use the script for topics and tasks with which they are very familiar. If text added to the article was generated by the chatbot, this has to be mentioned in the edit summary.
To use the script, an OpenAI account is required. New users get free limited access for the first 3 months but have to purchase OpenAI credit afterward.
The script can be used on regular articles, drafts, and pages in the user space. It also works when previewing changes. Additionally, it can be used to some extent on the project namespace and the help namespace.
