You’re spot-on about the nested tags issue. Beautifulsoup libraries wikipedia works, but it’s not the *only* tool.

Try `requests-html`—it’s like beautifulsoup but with built-in JS rendering (for those dynamic wiki elements).

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions! Didn’t realize there were so many alternatives to beautifulsoup libraries wikipedia.

Gonna try `pandas.read_html()` for tables first—sounds way easier.

Quick Q: Anyone know if the Wikipedia API has rate limits? Don’t wanna get blocked lol.
