Build a Batch Wikipedia Title Scraper

Level: Beginner

Your task for today is to create a simple script that reads Wikipedia URLs from a Python list and extracts the title of each article.

Project Task

Create a Wikipedia title scraper that:

• Stores 5 Wikipedia URLs in a Python list

• Uses the requests library to fetch each webpage

• Uses BeautifulSoup to parse the HTML content

• Extracts the article title from each Wikipedia page

• Prints out each title in a clean format

• Loops through all URLs automatically

This project gives you hands-on practice with web scraping, HTML parsing, and working with external libraries — essential skills for data extraction projects.

Use this list of Wikipedia URLs for convenience:

urls = [
    “https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)”,
    “https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence”,
    “https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning”,
    “https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping”,
    “https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_science”
]
