I think wikipedia=XX:NAME was choosen because the other way you can add many wikipedia:XX= tags and the parsers will not have a single tag name to look at, also this would duplicate wikipedia's own mechanism for linking to different language pages (and what if the translation in OSM is inconsistent wikipedia's own?). By linking to only one wikipedia article in any language, you actually link to a whole group of articles in all wikipedias that are connected with their "interlinks". I don't remember whether this was discussed here or on IRC. Cheers _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
