## 🧠 Overview

**WikiSage** is a smart, educational app built for the WikiVerse Hackathon. It allows users to explore **comprehensive information about any topic** by aggregating and organizing resources from across Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Commons, Wikisource, and more — all in one place.

---

## 🎯 Problem Statement

Millions of users rely on Wikimedia for learning, but navigating multiple platforms (Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, etc.) to gather full information on a single topic is **time-consuming and fragmented**.

There is no unified platform that allows learners to:

- Seamlessly explore all types of Wikimedia content (articles, books, quotes, images, source texts) on **one topic**
- **Access diverse formats of learning content** (definitions, timelines, media, references)
- Interact with this knowledge in a structured, multilingual, and accessible way

---

## 💡 Solution

**WikiSage** solves this by:
- Fetching content from multiple Wikimedia public APIs
- Structuring them into an intuitive, topic-based interface
- Providing features like multilingual support, content export, and related topic mapping
