  • Retrieve a list of articles with disambiguation links from dplbot.toolforge.org.
  • Edit Wikipedia articles directly within the app.
  • Automatically generate edit summaries for your changes.
  • OAuth integration for secure Wikipedia authentication.

You'll also need to obtain OAuth credentials from Wikipedia to use the authentication features.
