This all conversation confort my (un-educated, I confess) idea of the
uselessness of cross referencing the Wikipedia ecosystem with OSM with OSM
tags.
Automated addition of wikidata id to OSM objects seems worthy, so why not
doing it on the fly instead of writing it to the database? Next year maybe?
Also, I always wondered what it supposed to happen when an OSM contributor who
like me does not give a damn of an external ID when he/she edits an OSM
element?
