	This file was written to get to know how bottle.py works and how to write 
	routes. If we wanted to, say, track which pages are clicked on our Wikipedia
	extension for Firefox, this code would be helpful. This simple code just
	takes in a Wikipedia page in the address and prints out a little message saying
	which page is being tracked (even though no tracking is happening yet).
	
	General help gotten from http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/tutorial.html
