Welcome to the WOLF Pic Size bot wiki!

A bot is for WOLF (previously Palringo) to help GuessWhat bot content submitters and editors.

Before this bot was created, users had to download an image to their phone, and manually check the dimensions of the image. This bot helps these users by automatically checking and sending dimensions of the image.
Additionally, this bot also has some other features that are designed to speed up the process of GuessWhat submissions and edits. See Features list for more details.

This wiki is designed to mainly provide bot information to users of the bot instance maintained by TehGM, not for developers.
If you're looking for technical information instead, look at code repository. Some wiki pages might also contain Technical Information sub-subsections.

Features

View all Pic Size bot commands on Commands page.

Size checking

The core feature of the bot. The bot will automatically post sizes of posted images. The bot can also check size of image from URL with a special command. The automatic checking options can be configured, too.

Next ID

The bot makes it easier to pull next game ID with a simple next command.

The bot automatically uses known IDs list to skip IDs that do not exist. If using next command with IDs that are greater than last entry on the list, bot will pull IDs one by one.

Queues System

Queues allow storing IDs in order for later in a categorized manner. You can use queues using <queue-name> queue commands.

If you use my as <queue-name>, the bot will use a queue tied with your user ID. If you don't have a queue, bot will automatically create one using your current display name. Anyone can see and add to your queue, and you can then access it using simple my queue command.

User Notes

Bot can store your notes - be it set of IDs, an important reminder or your shopping list. You can see excerpts of your notes in bulk, or access each note individually using its automatically assigned ID.

Due to WOLF protocol limitations, notes cannot be very long.

Mentions

This bot can send a private message to selected users whenever their name is mentioned in a group chat. Users that have this feature enabled are chosen by Bot Admins.
