there is another aspect that could be added to your list for discussion: wikipedia and wikidata integration on osm tag definition wiki pages.
* Some wiki editors seem to believe, the first word of a osm tag definition should be a link to a wikipedia article about something related to this tag, but sometimes these are also interpreted as descriptions of what should go into the tag, particularly when the wikipedia link is the only substantial content. * There are many wikidata references on tag definition wiki pages as well, there is a field in the keydescription template to do it: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Template:KeyDescription Regarding the license question: wikidata is public domain (so taking name translations from there shouldn’t pose a problem), but it started (AFAIK) with importing things like coordinates and interlanguage links from wikipedia, which has different licenses, how was this step possible? Maybe because these are seen as facts and not copyrightable? Cheers, Martin
