I'm trying to figure out how to count words in a web site. Here is a sample of

Hello experts. I'm looking at this url:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unusual_place_names
I'm trying to figure out how to list all 'a title' elements. For instance, I
see the following:
Accident
Ala-Lemu
Alert
Apocalypse Peaks
So, I tried putting a script together to get 'title'.
I'm trying the script below, and it simple writes the last line to a text file.
I want to add a '\n' after each line is written, so I don't overwrite all the
lines.
