Good idea, I added the support now. Also added better support for wikipedia=<full-URL>. If there are other tags that people use for external links, let me know. On one hand, there was a discussion here on the list and on irc at one point about this form of tagging and it was argued that wikipedia:<code>=<Title> was good for when you want to have the given language use a different wikipedia page, in addition to a generic link in wikipedia=. Or that it's easier to support technically. I never understood these arguments and want to encourage using a single wikipedia= tag. For the record here are the statistics of the current tag usage in the tiles (IOW no US): 121098 wikipedia= tags 43429 of the above link to non-English wikipedias (i.e. wikipedia=<code>:<Title>) 35996 wikipedia:<code>= tags 28184 url= tags Cheers _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
