It is worth noting that Wikibase doesn't need to be the edition interface. You can have it running on the background and use a custom GUI to display/edit some preset fields which use the entity suggester in whatever language the user has chosen. Examples: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%8F:WE-Framework The benefits are that you could use it as an authority control gateway, structured relations, better interoperability, and reuse of the tools/development that is being done for wikibase. I don't know OSM well enough to appraise if these benefits outweigh the costs, but perhaps it is worth taking a closer look. Cheers, Micru
