Closes#39
Removed the unused exception variable from the error handling block during MediaWiki API request. This helps in reducing potential future linting errors and maintains cleaner code. No functional changes.
Introduced caching for license data retrieved from the MediaWiki API. This avoids redundant API requests by storing the license information for each base URL. Enhances performance and reduces the risk of hitting request limits or encountering errors due to multiple API calls.
Extended the home route to accept optional project and language
parameters to dynamically render content based on these inputs.
Improved handling within the article fetching function, including
validating projects and languages, adding variant headers, and
following redirects conditionally. Updated links to accommodate
internal, external, and interwiki links, with structured checks
for main page redirections. Removed redundant meta links and edit
sections to clean up the rendered content. Added proxying for images
and videos, converted category elements to links, and improved class
assignments for reference links. Ensured right-to-left languages are
handled appropriately.
Fixes#29.

articles. This enhancement provides users with clarity on content usage
permissions by showing a link to the article's license in the footer.

Now, if an exception occurs, an error message is logged, and the user is redirected to an error page with a 500 status code. This improves user experience by providing clear feedback when the search functionality fails.

This improves robustness and user experience when dealing with incomplete or malformed article data.
Fixes#24.

all major functions and routes in the application. Additionally,
reordered imports for better readability and added a new typing
import to support the annotations.
These improvements facilitate easier understanding and usage of
the codebase, align with best practices, and provide hints for
static type checkers, leading to fewer runtime errors.

Resolves issue with incorrect article formatting.

Added try-except block to handle HTTP errors when fetching wiki articles. Specifically, handle 404 errors with a user-friendly "Article not found" message and log other errors with a generic error message displayed to the user.
