can you do a if value == any part of a List in python

Question

if Command == wikiL:
    wikipediaSearch()

That is my code and the list is

wikiL = ['Wiki', 'wiki', 'WIKI', 'wIKI', 'Wikipedia', 'wikipedia', 'WIKIPEDIA', 'wIKIPEDIA']

Is there anyway I can do this because when I try it doesn't do anything

if you use `command.lower()` then you can create shorter list - only with lower case examples - `['wiki', 'wikipedia']` — furas, Mar 01 '21 at 21:18

In Python there is the in operator you just have to do:

if Command in wikil:
     wikipediaSearch()
