Hi all, just in case anybody else is interested: I've created a short tampermonkey script here: http://bjohas.de//wiki/Maps/Linking_wikipedia_to_OSM
It extracts coordinates and wikidata from a wikipedia page, and adds various direct links near the "Coordinates" bit on the wikipedia page, which link to OSM/iD/JOSM / http://osm.wikidata.link/ / etc. It's of course simple to do, but I still fiddled with it for a bit until it worked, so thought I'd share it. In putting this together and testing it, I also added some POIs for wikipedia objects that weren't on OSM (but clearly visible in bing/mapbox) - so it's been helpful to me. Final question: (Also, the OSM search doesn't return anything for the wikidata object > http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Q925624 - would be great if it > did.) Should this be addressed?
