Detailed Description

This module implements the Wikipedia engine. Some of this implementations
are shared by other engines:

- :ref:`wikidata engine`

The list of supported languages is :py:obj:`fetched <fetch_wikimedia_traits>` from
the article linked by :py:obj:`list_of_wikipedias`.

Unlike traditional search engines, wikipedia does not support one Wikipedia for
all languages, but there is one Wikipedia for each supported language. Some of
these Wikipedias have a LanguageConverter_ enabled
(:py:obj:`rest_v1_summary_url`).

A LanguageConverter_ (LC) is a system based on language variants that
automatically converts the content of a page into a different variant. A variant
is mostly the same language in a different script.

- `Wikipedias in multiple writing systems`_
- `Automatic conversion between traditional and simplified Chinese characters`_

PR-2554_:
The Wikipedia link returned by the API is still the same in all cases
(`https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/出租車`_) but if your browser's
``Accept-Language`` is set to any of ``zh``, ``zh-CN``, ``zh-TW``, ``zh-HK``
or .. Wikipedia's LC automatically returns the desired script in their
web-page.

- You can test the API here: https://reqbin.com/gesg2kvx

.. _https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/出租車:
https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%87%BA%E7%A7%9F%E8%BB%8A

To support Wikipedia's LanguageConverter_, a SearXNG request to Wikipedia uses
:py:obj:`get_wiki_params` and :py:obj:`wiki_lc_locale_variants' in the
:py:obj:`fetch_wikimedia_traits` function.

To test in SearXNG, query for ``!wp 出租車`` with each of the available Chinese
options:

- ``!wp 出租車 :zh`` should show 出租車
- ``!wp 出租車 :zh-CN`` should show 出租车
- ``!wp 出租車 :zh-TW`` should show 計程車
- ``!wp 出租車 :zh-HK`` should show 的士
- ``!wp 出租車 :zh-SG`` should show 德士

◆ fetch_wikimedia_traits()

searx.engines.wikipedia.fetch_wikimedia_traits ( EngineTraits engine_traits )

Fetch languages from Wikipedia.  Not all languages from the
:py:obj:`list_of_wikipedias` are supported by SearXNG locales, only those
known from :py:obj:`searx.locales.LOCALE_NAMES` or those with a minimal
:py:obj:`editing depth <wikipedia_article_depth>`.

The location of the Wikipedia address of a language is mapped in a
:py:obj:`custom field <searx.enginelib.traits.EngineTraits.custom>`
(``wiki_netloc``).  Here is a reduced example:

.. code:: python

   traits.custom['wiki_netloc'] = {
       "en": "en.wikipedia.org",
       ..
       "gsw": "als.wikipedia.org",
       ..
       "zh": "zh.wikipedia.org",
       "zh-classical": "zh-classical.wikipedia.org"
