the wikipedia response is a big html page, displaying all of this information would be kind of useless so we have to figure out a way to find certain categories on the html file and filter those out. for example, on a song page, it would be idea to have personnel, and composition (if there), plus maybe critical reception or something else. the rest of the info, like resources and external links don't need to be shown

using the wikipedia rest api is simple once we have the right search term. finding the search term isn't as easy though.. some songs can be found at wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_Title, but others have a "_(song)" postfix on the url, and some others don't even have their own pages. in the case of not having a song page, some song titles will automatically redirect to their respective album's page, while some others will just have a 404 error page. we need to come up with a way to search for all possible patterns, or some combination of patterns that will cover all cases and then determine which results are what we want to display
