Answer 1

You can use .str.replace() on the WIKIURL series. Example -

df['WIKIURL'] = df['WIKIURL'].str.replace('/wiki/','')

Demo -

In [95]: df
Out[95]:
            WIKIURL  NUMBER
0      /wiki/blabla       9
1   /wiki/bladiebla       8
2   /wiki/blablabla       1
3   /wiki/kipapapap       2
4  /wiki/wqeqrwtyee       3
5  /wiki/soduyfhlas       1

In [96]: df['WIKIURL'] = df['WIKIURL'].str.replace('/wiki/','')

In [97]: df
Out[97]:
      WIKIURL  NUMBER
0      blabla       9
1   bladiebla       8
2   blablabla       1
3   kipapapap       2
4  wqeqrwtyee       3
