//This article is intended for wiki administrators.//
If you want, you can let users log in to your wiki using **Telegram**.
Telegram is a proprietary messaging application used by half a billion people. Learn more at [[https://telegram.org]].
## Setting up Telegram integration
In order to enable Telegram authorization, you need to create a Telegram bot and link it with your wiki.
### Creating a bot
Open the chat with [[https://t.me/botfather | @BotFather]], the bot for creating other bots. Create a new bot there. You will need the bot username and token later. You can set the bot's userpic. It would be great if it matches your wiki's logo.
After creating the bot, send the `/setdomain` command and then send your wiki's domain.
You do not need to actually //host// the bot. It is enough for it just to be created in BotFather. You can also reuse a previously existing bot.
### Configuring
In `config.ini`, in `[Telegram]` section, fill in the bot's username (without @) and token:
If both fields are both set, the engine will enable Telegram authorization.
## Using
On login and register pages there is a blue button. If a user clicks it, they are prompted to give the authorization permission to your bot. The user's @username will be used as wiki username. Telegram users are part of the //editor// user group by default. Telegram users can use the wiki just like everyone else.
