With Wik, you have access to all of Wikipedia, in your terminal. If you have to know something NOW, it's as simple as....
▶ wik wiki
Control is important, so a common action like searching is available with wik -s keyword.
Once you know the name of a page, type wik -v "page name" for a full page view.
To get just a summed up description of a page, run wik -d "page name".
If you ever just want to find a list of entries relating to a keyword, wik -f topic will do just that.
Pretty easy, you only need to have Ruby installed.
sudo gem install wikwik hello, world! - Automatically handle everything
wik -s keyword - Search Wikipedia
wik -f topic - Find a list of available pages about a topic
wik -v page name - View "page name"
wik -d page name - Get a short description of "page name"
Wik has a comfortably simple API, have a look at API.md
