Then you're clashing with WordPress. Something like wikifetch is even better I think.

"wp" and "wiki" are both unclear... Which "wiki"?

Just call this "wikipedia".

But what if support for other wikis gets added?

But what if it starts supporting other webpages too, not just wikis?

Let's just name stuff for what their stated purpose is, instead of trying to invent "maybes" and name it after that.

Morrowind fetch à la OpenMW? :)

Kidding - although an API for Morrowind would be neat...

wordpress isn't part of any base system, at least.

It's just some PHP (eww) blog software.

What anned20 means is that quite a lot of managed hosting has the (incredible) WP-CLI installed:

https://wp-cli.org/

The (completely invaluable) shell command is "wp".

MediaWiki is also written in PHP?
