 **Using intents in discord.py**
 
-Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default discord.py has all intents enabled except for `Members`, `Message Content`, and `Presences`. These are needed for features such as `on_member` events, to get access to message content, and to get members' statuses.
+Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed [in its documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#intents). Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become **mandatory** for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.
 
-To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the [Discord developer portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications), then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the `Privileged Gateway Intents` section, then enable the intents that you need.
-
-Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the `intents` keyword argument, like this:
+There are *standard* and *privileged* intents. To use privileged intents like `Presences`, `Server Members`, and `Message Content`, you have to first enable them in the [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications). In there, go to the `Bot` page of your application, scroll down to the `Privileged Gateway Intents` section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.
 
+Afterwards in your code, you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the `intents` keyword argument, like this:
 ```py
 from discord import Intents
 from discord.ext import commands
 
+# Enable all standard intents and message content
+# (prefix commands generally require message content)
 intents = Intents.default()
-intents.members = True
+intents.message_content = True
 
 bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)
 ```
