## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

wiki is a Go command-line tool by Magnus Waldeborn for fetching article summaries from Wikipedia and other MediaWiki instances. It defaults to English Wikipedia, but the README and manual describe language selection and a custom API URL so the same executable can query other MediaWiki-powered sites.

### Projektgeschichte

The GitHub repository was created on October 1, 2015. The README reflects the Go tooling style of that period, documenting `go get` installation, optional manual-page installation, tests via Make, and a command-line interface focused on concise summaries rather than full article browsing.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

wiki has a moderate niche footprint: GitHub showed about 291 stars and 12 forks in July 2026. Its adoption is centered on users who want a quick terminal lookup for Wikipedia or custom MediaWiki sites rather than a general MediaWiki administration client.

### Wie es verwendet wird

The simplest use is `wiki <query>`, which prints a summary and a read-more URL. Users can choose another language with `-l` or `WIKI_LANG`, change the API endpoint with `-u` or `WIKI_URL`, request short or simple output, disable color, and set wrapping width.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

wiki is package-nerd interesting because it is a small, Unix-style client for a very large public knowledge infrastructure. It packages the MediaWiki API into a single command that is scriptable, localizable, and useful in shells, launchers, and documentation workflows.

### Zeitleiste
