Tim, There are problems with WIWOSM that aren't solved at all...
Example: Historic monuments in Austria. They are all covered in Wikipedia, but mostly only in Lists. And they do have a distinguishable objectID, but I can't really state this in OSM. For instance: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/207854465 ist such a historic monument with objectID 25020. It can be found in Wikipedia here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_denkmalgesch%C3%BCtzten_Objekte_in_Wien/Penzing#objektid-25020 So I can only state the tag wikipedia:de = Liste der denkmalgeschützten Objekte in Wien/Penzing#objektid-25020 This has the effect that the link in OSM doesn't work (because OSM adds a userlang parameter behind the anchor reference which I consider a bug of OSM [did already report it]). And also WIWOSM can't reference the distict object. Though it seems to be able to reference some of the "Liste_der_denkmalgeschützten_Objekte_in_Wien/Penzing". It can't do all because some of the objects do have their own wikipedia entrance, for instance Mariarunn church: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/48434703 http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfarr-_und_Wallfahrtskirche_Mariabrunn So what would be necessary is that wikipedia and OSM would agree on some kind of generic ID, which could in the case of historic monuments in Austria be some /monument/AT/$objectID, e.g. /monument/AT/25020, which then would redirect to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_denkmalgesch%C3%BCtzten_Objekte_in_Wien/Penzing#objektid-25020 whereas /monument/AT/24616 could redirect to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfarr-_und_Wallfahrtskirche_Mariabrunn /al _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
