What a uninformative headline. I was going to chip in with the annoyance that a romance language like Romanian appends the article to the word, Russian-style.

Multiple definitions of a word is tricky to work around, especially when most of Wikipedia's documents are called "articles".

  Random unprompted fun fact: Articles are the main type of "Page" on wikipedia, but not the only type! Buried deep in their docs is the full list of 'namespaces', which you need to parse their XML dumps: class Namespace(IntEnum): MEDIA = -2 SPECIAL = -1 ARTICLE = 0 TALK = 1 TEMPLATE = 10 PORTAL = 100 PORTAL_TALK = 101 TEMPLATE_TALK = 11 DRAFT = 118 DRAFT_TALK = 119 HELP = 12 MOS = 126 MOS_TALK = 127 HELP_TALK = 13 CATEGORY = 14 CATEGORY_TALK = 15 USER = 2 USER_TALK = 3 WIKIPEDIA = 4 WIKIPEDIA_TALK = 5 FILE = 6 FILE_TALK = 7 TIMEDTEXT = 710 TIMEDTEXT_TALK = 711 MEDIAWIKI = 8 MODULE = 828 MODULE_TALK = 829 MEDIAWIKI_TALK = 9 Wikipedia is a donwright fascinating technical environment once you find the rabbit hole. Shoutout to their purpose-built version control site[1] and their brand-new SWE-focused project "WikiFunctions"[2], the first new wikimedia project in a decade! ...which, while we're at it, brings the total to 18: wikipedia, wikibooks, wikinews, wikisource, wiktionary, wikiquote, wikiversity, wikivoyage, wikidata, wikifunctions, mediawiki, commons, species, foundation, meta, incubator, and phabricator.
