-# This script scrapes the Covid-19 Wikiproject
-#
-# It (1) hits the fcgi to find out how many rounds. Then (2) hit the fcgi
-# that many rounds, cooking that information down to just a list of article names and
-# then (3) saves it out.
-#
-# At time of writing:
-# the fCGI returns only 1000 max, no matter what you put in the limit. page 1 looks like this....
