Wikidata uses dynamic page layout: what is on the right for you is
below other components for me, for example.

People enter all sorts of bad data into OSM; that's not something
specific to Wikidata IDs.

Yes, the most useful part of Wikidata is linking Wikipedia articles 
in various languages with each other.

In this case see right side of https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q12892 

And Wikipedia is using this data to display

From what I have heard there are sometimes (or often depending on the
source) mismatches between the subject of the Wikidata item and the
OSM object.
Not a problem if people only need some additional information and can
see that both subjects do not match entirely, but poses problems if a
program combines OSM and Wikidata data.

All of these are yet more good reasons to tag with Wikidata, rather

Good editing tools will show the human-readable label from Wikidata.

IIRC JOSM does this through a "Wikipedia" plugin.

Re: [OSM-talk-ie] Proposed mechanical edit - elimination of old-style Wikipedia links in Ireland

[Marc Gemis]

AFAIK, one should use the main language of the area in which the
feature is located. I think it is supposed to follow the language used
to determine the name tag.
So for the Belgian/Flemish town Antwerpen (Antwerp in English), you
should use wikipedia=nl:Antwerpen (stad)
This links to the Wikipedia page: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antwerpen_(stad)
Wikipedia knows that the English page is
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antwerp (perhaps by using Wikidata
internally)
This link and links to over a hundred other languages is found on the left

So either the data consumer or Wikipedia should be able to direct you
immediately to the English page if your browser settings (or app
settings) indicate that you prefer English over Dutch.
I don't know whether Wikipedia actually does this.

There is no need to add more than 100 Wikipedia links (the number of
languages for which there is an article on Antwerpen) to OSM.

This is a problem for Brussels, where OSM has no real preference for
language. Should be point to the Dutch or French version?

Note that people pointed out in the past that you can find linked
Wikipedia articles with slightly different subjects in different
languages.

I am still not really happy with this, but hey, if this is what the
majority wants, I'm not going to be a dissident.

The reply that I got more than a year ago when the Mapbox team was

languages are linked and that the data consumer should display the

How do you intend to deal with bi-lingual areas where having Wikipedia links in 
both languages is an important cultural consideration?

wikipedia tag is supposed to be specifically about mapped object

For example statue of George Boole would have
subject:wikipedia=en:George Boole
tag, not
wikipedia=en:George Boole

Or
brand:wikipedia=en:McDonald's
on a McDonald's fast food rather than
wikipedia=en:McDonald's

It went as follows:

- I made small prototype tool listing tourism attractions based on OSM data
- during development I discovered massive amount of broken wikipedia and 
wikidata tags
- due to scale and that problems were fixable by automatic edit I made a 
program for bot edits

- I made bot edits that fixed tens of thousands objects in Poland

scripts can be used in other regions

For now I processed Poland and USA.

I posted on mailing lists for Australia and Ireland, and I am planning to do it 
for GB.

It is not done as global edit as within Ukraine, Belarus and some other 
countries
multitagging Wikipedia tags is done as compromise to language wars -
and I am not interested in retriggering this case of "Ukraine vs Russia" 
discussions.

Also, proposing global bot edits is frequently protested by people believing
that any automated edit is harmful because it causes object to be edited.

OK! I will do it and post about it on this mailing list.

Are you interested in Ireland, part of the Ireland or some other part of the 
world?
Feel free to specify as narrow as you would like, requests up to
"withing X km from town Y" are feasible.

(in fact this bot edit is result of project that was about listing invalid 
wikipedia and wikidata tags).

Usage. See https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/wikipedia 
 and
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/wikipedia%3Aen 
 (8000 vs 1 088 000 
uses).

To lesser degree - OSM Wiki recommendations and support from data consumers.

As usual with data consumers - various things.

For example fetching descriptions from Wikipedia (Osmand and other map
displays) or influence on search results rankings (or example Nominatim) and 
others uses.

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/wikipedia#projects 
 has lists of 4 more 
projects that
submitted used tags to taginfo, but there are more not mentioned there.

Information would not be lost. If there would be only wikipedia:en tag then

That object does not map Leo Varadkar TD (presumably, it's his

Sounds good. Can you do this outside Ireland also?

Can you flag these up; perhaps by writing to a list on a wiki page?
They need to be reviewed, and probably corrected.

Re: [OSM-talk-ie] Proposed mechanical edit - elimination of old-style Wikipedia links in Ireland

[Rory McCann]

I'm not sure why one would bother with this, but whatever.

Are they any cases where there are more than wikipedia:XX tag, and what 
will you do in that case? What will the wikipedia tag be?

Old style wikipedia link is one where language is stored in key, not in

For example "wikipedia:en=Ireland" is an old style link, while
"wikipedia=en:Ireland" is a form that is currently standard.

Many old-style Wikipedia links remain and updating them to new style
manually is boring, tedious and some mistakes may appear during this.

Some OSM elements have old-style Wikipedia link without new tag what
means that this data is harder to process for editors and data
consumers.

Also, remaining old-style Wikipedia tags confuse mappers, especially
less experienced.

Therefore I propose to run an automatic edit that will replace
old-style Wikipedia links with current style of Wikipedia links.

Please comment no matter what you think about this idea! I will not
make the edit without a clear support so please comment if you think
that it is a good idea and if you think that it should not be done.

Plan is as follows:

I will take full responsibility for all edits and if anything goes
wrong I will fix it.

Editing is limited to objects with old-style Wikipedia tags is not
conflicting with existing wikipedia=* or wikidata=* tag or other
old-style wikipedia tags.

Links detected as invalid (leading to disambigs, articles about humans,
animals, plants, events etc) are also skipped

Each changeset contains a single element or group of close elements to
avoid edits spanning across large areas (it is impossible in cases
where edited object itself spans very large area)

After every changeset bot sleeps for one minute.

This is proposed as reoccurring edit and may be made as soon as new
old-style wikipedia links appear.

documentation page on OSM Wiki is at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edits/Mateusz_Konieczny_-_bot_account/elimination_of_old-style_Wikipedia_links_in_Ireland

I have experience with automatic edits. exactly the same task was run
in Poland to remove more than 6000 old-style Wikipedia links what was
completed without any issues.

I recently processed also old-style Wikipedia tags across USA.

Hi,

1. If it makes things easier for people, then go for it.

2. I add the wikipedia tag to a variety of objects, not just geographical 
entities. Why won't these be converted?

3. There are some features where the name of the Wikipedia entry has changed, 
e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3079181210/history and 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Col%C3%A1iste_Moibh%C3%AD - I have no 
recollection of adding the OSM entry originally. :)

4. Are there actually only about 40 entries to be changed?

http://stat.latlon.org/ie/latest/tags-w.html

  *   wikidata 3904
  *   wikimedia_commons 3
  *   wikipedia 1633
  *   wikipedia:de 1
  *   wikipedia:en 38
  *   wikipedia:fi 1
  *   wikipedia_1 1

5. Is there a big discrepancy between the number of wikidata (3904) and 
wikimedia (1633) objects? Is this an issue?

Colm
