"OSM meta item" or a "OSM meta dataitem"... naming is hard :) Wikibase is too close to Wikidata, thus has caused some confusion -- that's why I avoid calling it that. I agree that we can (and should!) customize data items editing experience, make it simpler for OSM community. This is

I’ve been calling the system “wikibase”, but don’t know if this is clearer. I’d avoid saying “OSM data items” because this sounds very similar to “OSM database objects”.’ We could say “(OSM) wiki data items”? Or “Openstreetmap.org wikibase data items”? But what do we call the whole data
