First setup checklist

Use this checklist after inviting Wicks. Set up the essentials first, then enable only the modules your community needs.

1. Set the basics

  • Choose the bot language and default Embed color.
  • Move the Wicks role above roles it will manage.
  • Select safe automatic roles for new members and bots when needed.

2. Prepare staff channels

  • A private moderation-log channel.
  • A protection-alert channel.
  • A ticket category and ticket-log channel.
  • A welcome or level-up channel when you use those modules.

3. Add safety gradually

Enable logs first, add simple AutoMod rules, then configure moderator-role protection with limits your team can review. Avoid strong punishments before testing.

4. Test as a regular member

  1. Trigger a test Auto Reply or AutoMod rule.
  2. Open a ticket and check that only the member and support team can see it.
  3. Run a general command and a moderation command with the right account.
  4. Confirm the event appears in the selected log channel.
You are ready

Once these checks pass, add welcome messages, leveling, colors, and automation one module at a time.
