Re: [OSM-talk] remove link to Wikidata from infoboxes is a valid arg to remove it from wiki page and data items ?

Thank you for this clarification. I was momentarily confused by the discrepancy between what was proposed in [1] and the alarm expressed in this thread. Mateusz already went out of his way to accommodate us Wikidata aficionados, sending his QID removal idea through the feature proposal process instead of discussing it on an obscure template talk page like most template edits. I can see how it still came as a surprise to those less familiar with how the templates work, but I don't think these edits are actually of much consequence, because the data item statements remain. In the future, if the community ever changes its mind about showing the QIDs on the infobox, the infobox template can simply read it directly from the data item. It would be quite ironic for any data consumer to be scraping an unused template parameter to discover a Wikidata QID of all things. I would expect any data consumer enlightened enough to work with these QIDs to also be capable of accessing the data items. (Data items are a joy to work with compared to scraping wikitext. Changed my life. [2]) Mateusz, if this bot gets a mind of its own and starts deleting P12 statements from data items, please let a wiki administrator know. We can temporarily block the bot while you make repairs.

Hello, a few months ago, the community unfortunately voted [|] to "remove alphanumeric code visible in infoboxes at OSM Wiki linking to Wikidata" because for some tags, the item described by the tag was not the same as the one described by the wikidata item (in my opinion it is better to only delete the erroneous links instead of hiding everything) today I see that a bot is deleting the wikidata, which is not the same thing as "hide from the infobox" therefore if I want to make an application that displays natural=tree genus species in the user's language, I don't have access to the translation base that is de facto wikidata (and I would have to do like many tools: ask people to waste their time to encode the same translation again) so it's the previous vote to hide a valid arg to remove it ? do we really want the community to waste its time remaking a wikidata-osm out of ego not to use wikidata.org when it describes the same concept? is it useful ? what do we gain by breaking the link between natural=tree and |wikidata=Q10884 ? compare osm's translation list with wikidata https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Item:Q4723 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q10884 of course for some, it's even worse, for ex genus=* 30 <> 125 https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Item:Q310 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q34740 it's already a sad waste to have to translate every tag for the wiki + iD + josm+ + ... + ... without this [1] https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/remove_link_to_Wikidata_from_infoboxes Regards, Marc ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Re: [Talk-ro] Level 8 administrative boundaries in Romania
Hello, Indeed the missing data is due to human resources, the import is still progressing, but slowly. ted3sco started the process and mapped most of them; I also helped and added 2 or 3 counties worth of administrative boundaries. The imports requires a very thorough work and we only find time to do it rarely. If anyone wants to help I can provide instructions on where to find the data, how to use it and the process to correctly add them to OSM without messing anything up.

Not entirely sure what should be done differently. Maybe initial mistake was not making clear that ceasing to display wikidata link makes this parameter defunct and that it should be removed? It was titled "remove link to Wikidata from infoboxes" and had "this proposal will not result in a data loss, as everything in OSM Wiki was synchronized to data items" and "wikidata parameter in infoboxes on wiki pages would become inactive" and so on. But now I see that for many people implication may be not obvious :( That it implies that this parameter would become removable as dead and inactive. That is quite sad as I put a lot of effort into attempt to make this proposal clear. And I see that it had a major failure. Sorry for that. --- To clarify situation: When proposal was made all data was synchronise with data items. Anyone using wikidata links for any purpose still have access to them and if this data was useful at all they can continue to use them. --- But making second large scale edit to add back defunct parameter that is no longer present in the infobox does not seem to be a good idea. Especially as this wiki bot edit followed stricter standards than actually stated as required. --- And it is even more irritating as I am one of few people actually following rules for bot edits. Basically all bot edits and imports operate under "hopefully noone will revert this, so lets ignore rules and just do it". Or at least some rules. And I actually put quite a lot of effort into doing what is required by rules so it is a bit irritating to run into this. (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:Automated_edits_log - and it is not like I made 1/3 of all automated edits in OSM!)

Hi, On 30.09.22 12:59, Marc_marc wrote: do we really want the community to waste its time remaking a wikidata-osm out of ego not to use wikidata.org when it describes the same concept? I think that there is a danger of confusion here because Wikidata has its own ideas about what a tree is and they might differ from our definition, and I foresee people arguing "I am using this tag here because the Wikidata Q-whatever thing says I can". For example, on historic=monument, wikidata says in Q4989906: "imposing structure created to commemorate a person or event, or used for that purpose", whereas OSM says: "A memorial object, which is especially large (one can go inside, walk on or through it) or very tall (see the examples), built to remember, show respect to a person or group of people or to commemorate an event." These definitions are not identical and will rarely be. But having said that, I *did* think that the vote was about hiding the wikidata item from the infobox (and especially hiding the obnoxious "there's no wikidata link yet please create one") - which would have mean the removal of a couple lines of code on the infobox, instead of editing every single page with a bot. Looking back now, the vote said: "It will not lead to any data loss, but will make Wikidata link far less prominent." "Make link far less prominent" is not the same as "delete link". Therefore the bot activity has, in my opinion, no community backing and needs to be stopped and reverted. You can't have people vote on one thing and then do something else.

Automatic edit removing them should obtain a separate bot approval (it is not granted by this proposal)." Bot edits limited to OSM Wiki are not handled by any policy, many people run smaller or larger bot edits without any approval whatsoever. In my case I propose them on Talk:Wiki and wait for some time. This specific edit is also trivial to do in reverse (copy simple entry from data item into infobox) in unlikely case of people changing their mind and wanting to display this tag in infobox. If someone things that bot policy for wiki with stronger requirements would be a good idea, feel free to design one. > what do we gain by breaking the link between > natural=tree and |wikidata=Q10884 ? > See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/remove_link_to_Wikidata_from_infoboxes#Rationale for rationale > compare osm's translation list with wikidata > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Item:Q4723 > https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q10884 > of course for some, it's even worse, for ex genus=* 30 <> 125 > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Item:Q310 > https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q34740 > Using nearest Wikidata item translations for describing tag is not useful at all and often will result in highly confusing and misleading "translations".

[OSM-talk] remove link to Wikidata from infoboxes is a valid arg to remove it from wiki page and data items ?
Hello, a few months ago, the community unfortunately voted [|] to "remove alphanumeric code visible in infoboxes at OSM Wiki linking to Wikidata" because for some tags, the item described by the tag was not the same as the one described by the wikidata item (in my opinion it is better to only delete the erroneous links instead of hiding everything) today I see that a bot is deleting the wikidata, which is not the same thing as "hide from the infobox" therefore if I want to make an application that displays natural=tree genus species in the user's language, I don't have access to the translation base that is de facto wikidata (and I would have to do like many tools: ask people to waste their time to encode the same translation again) so it's the previous vote to hide a valid arg to remove it ? do we really want the community to waste its time remaking a wikidata-osm out of ego not to use wikidata.org when it describes the same concept? is it useful ? what do we gain by breaking the link between natural=tree and |wikidata=Q10884 ? compare osm's translation list with wikidata https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Item:Q4723 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q10884 of course for some, it's even worse, for ex genus=* 30 <> 125 https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Item:Q310 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q34740 it's already a sad waste to have to translate every tag for the wiki + iD + josm+ + ... + ... without this [1] https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/remove_link_to_Wikidata_from_infoboxes Regards, Marc ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
