About the support of languages
Some versions of Wikipedia have custom formatting different from the main wikipedia site. That means changing the language
to something other than English can lead to incorrect formatting or missing data. A fix is planned but will take time
Changing the site
The options api.pre_language and api.post_language allow you to change the wiki site to,
theoretically, any Mediawiki based site. Make sure that api.post_language points to the api
endpoint of the site, otherwise wiki-tui won't work.
Default
api.pre_language = "https://"
api.post_language = ".wikipedia.org/w/api.php"
