Dude, I’ve been down this road. Beautifulsoup libraries wikipedia scraping works, but you gotta be smart about it.
Use `lxml` parser—it’s way faster than the default. And yeah, `requests` is a must.
Also, Wikipedia has an API (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page). If you’re doing heavy scraping, maybe just use that instead of parsing HTML. Less chance of breaking.
