wikimedia-cli's Issues

Set up documentation

Wiktionary formatting

General formatting of definitions and returned data woud be nice

Package to PyPI

`-s` flag in `t phrase` doesn't actually do anything

Will probably be fixed manually through data parsing

Add wiktionary

Add support for other Wikimedia project wikis

Make nested subcommands in argparse
