Re: [Talk-GB] Changing wikipedia links
Thanks for the info gents - I see more information has finally been added to the wiki - albeit a year after discussion on imports :-) Cheers, Neil On 02/10/2018 08:09, ajt1...@gmail.com wrote: > On 01/10/2018 23:39, Dan S wrote: >> Op ma 1 okt. 2018 om 23:15 schreef Neil Matthews : >>> Looks like an automated edit - albeit a human curated one - without >>> discussion, certainly on Talk-GB. >> The "imports" mailing list would be the right place to discuss it, if >> it's a bulk edit (is it?).

It doesn't seem to have GB-specific implications for this list IMHO (even though this particular changeset is of course within gb). For completeness, this sort of thing has been discussed on "imports" - see https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2017-September/thread.html#78902 and the subsequent messages. Quite a lot of that thread is about other things (as tends to happen) but it has been discussed before. In this particular case as Dan says brand:wikipedia looks like a more correct tag than wikipedia.

The "imports" mailing list would be the right place to discuss it, if it's a bulk edit (is it?). It doesn't seem to have GB-specific implications for this list IMHO (even though this particular changeset is of course within gb). > Seems to be moving wikipedia links for branded stores to > brand:wikipedia, e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/63071623 > > My concern is changing the behaviour of a well-known tag (worldwide). It's pretty well-established that wikipedia=* is supposed to reference the wikipedia article about the feature itself, not the operator. The wiki page has, for more than 5 years, given the guidance: "only provide links to articles which are 'about the feature'. A link from St Paul's cathedral in London to an article about St Pauls is fine. A link from a bus depot to the company that operates it is not." So irrespective of how the edit was done - in what sense is this "changing the behaviour of a well-known tag"?

[Talk-GB] Changing wikipedia links
Looks like an automated edit - albeit a human curated one - without discussion, certainly on Talk-GB. Seems to be moving wikipedia links for branded stores to brand:wikipedia, e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/63071623 My concern is changing the behaviour of a well-known tag (worldwide). Cheers, Neil P.S. presumably brand:wikimedia will be next? ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
