+<p>Servus now tracks URLs pasted into <span

+URL. The <span class="code">url</span> command provides a way for you
+to check if a URL has been posted before (if not, Servus posts it on
+your behalf). The syntax is:<br /> 
+<span class="code">/msg Servus url http://some.url</span><br />
+Servus will either paste the URL into channel, or <span
+class="code">/msg</span> you to tell you it was a duplicate. Although
+you can use this command in-channel (and get a response by <span
+class="code">/msg </span>), this is discouraged.</p>
