separate

Search and fetch structured content from Wikipedia using the MediaWiki API for reliable, encyclopedic information

When to use

**Encyclopedic knowledge** — Factual information about people, places, events, concepts
**Historical information** — Well-documented historical facts, dates, and events
**Scientific and technical concepts** — Definitions, explanations, and overviews
**Biographical information** — Details about notable people
**Geographic information** — Countries, cities, landmarks, and their details
**Quick fact verification** — Cross-checking encyclopedic facts
**Structured content** — Need article sections, categories, and links
**Multi-language content** — Access Wikipedia in languages other than English

**Current events or breaking news** — Wikipedia may not be up-to-date for very recent events (use web-search instead)
**Controversial or disputed topics** — Wikipedia can have bias or edit wars; use multiple sources
**Opinions or analysis** — Wikipedia aims for neutral point of view, not opinion
**How-to guides or tutorials** — Wikipedia is encyclopedic, not instructional (look for specialized resources)
**Code examples or technical documentation** — Use official docs or specialized sites
**Personal or local information** — Wikipedia only covers notable topics
**Real-time data** — Stock prices, weather, sports scores (use web-search instead)
**Not always current** — Wikipedia can lag behind breaking news by hours or days
