If you bookmark it then your browser will autocomplete when you type “scihub”. If you bookmark the Wikipedia article as well then you have autocomplete for “sci-hub”. So then together you have autocomplete for both. However I predict that the Wikipedia article will outlive the site OP made. It’s a fact of life that most sites (including a bunch I made myself so it’s not meant as any form of criticism) don’t last very long, either because the owner forgets to renew the domain or they’ve lost interest and don’t want to pay for it, or their hosting provider shuts down (don’t think heroku will anytime soon though), or the server they are hosted on has a disk malfunction (probably heroku customers will not suffer from that since I think heroku has a redundant storage solution in place), or the site gets out of date in regards to either the runtime on the server or an external API that is being used.

Although I agree that it's just fine to use Wikipedia directly if you're aware of it, the main risk in this case is reaching the limits of the free tier of Heroku, I think. Otherwise, it's only dependent on Heroku, the Wikidata API, and Wikidata being maintained. Those are relatively safe assumptions. Also, the code is open source, so you can easily fork it and host it on e.g. your own Heroku account :)
