Creating your discord bot
Welcome to the DiscordBot wiki, here you can follow a step by step tutorial for creating and inviting your discord bot.
Head on over to the Discord Developer Portal login if needed then you should find yourself with a probably empty dashboard, you want to hit that button in the top right that says New Application
You should now be able to input your application/bot username:
Then if all goes well you should now be shown a dashboard of your application like so:
Everything there is fairly irrelevant except the client ID which we'll use later.
But for now go to the far left and click the Bot section and then click Add Bot
You can now see your Bot, here you can change its username + avatar/icon.
Now after setting up the username/avatar you need to copy using the copy button here: To get the token required for config.yml 'token' field.
!!! NOTE, DO NOT EVER SHARE THIS TOKEN WITH ANYONE, ANYWHERE. IF YOU DO BY ACCIDENT OR FORCED, RETURN TO THIS DASHBOARD AND PRESS REGENERATE ASAP !!!
After you've copied your token into the config you now need to scroll down on the dashboard and enable these three options: (Don't forget to press save !)
And that's the hard part done, now you just need to get the client ID from earlier (Press the general information tab on far left to go back and get it) and then visit this site:

IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTICE You may have to give the bot extra permissions via a role inside discord for example Manage Roles if your using a plugin to give/take user roles.
PLEASE PLEASE Note if the bots token is stolen/leaked immediately regenerate the token or kick the bot from important discord servers to minimise any risk of users taking advantage of the permissions the bot has.
You have been warned.
I Hope this helped, modifications are welcome if you think somethings not clear or accurate.
