Today I updated to the latest release from a significantly older version, and now running the cli script is failing:

file:///usr/local/lib/node_modules/wtf_wikipedia/cli.js:2
const wtf = require('./src/index')

ReferenceError: require is not defined in ES module scope, you can use import instead
This file is being treated as an ES module because it has a '.js' file extension and '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/wtf_wikipedia/package.json' contains "type": "module". To treat it as a CommonJS script, rename it to use the '.cjs' file extension.

Node.js v19.2.0
It's possible that something has gone awry in my local environment, but from some brief googling, it looks like Node 14 changed the behaviour of require if package.json declares type: module. So I think that either that should be changed totype: commonjs, or the import mechanism in cli.js should be changed, but I'm a little out of my depth here.
