I agree that can sometimes be a problem, but wikipedia articles about terms like school, power plant, lake can hardly be changed in meaning. Anyway, connection to wikipedia articles is only a small, secondary part of my proposal. Links between tags themselves is something we have to document somewhere. We have to have a place where a data consumer sees that amenity=fastfood is a specific kind of a amenity=restaurant. Janko
