Adding tags to id's in third party data sets is a no brainer. I'm only complaining about THEN copying all that data into OSM. The link itself should be enough, but things like what church a street is named after is a little different ... THAT should have a researched answer if you want a local tag, or you simply read the information in wikidata/wikipedia. > 2015-07-31 17:21 GMT+02:00 Lester Caine <les...@lsces.co.uk > <mailto:les...@lsces.co.uk>>: > > On 31/07/15 16:09, Jo wrote: > > That's what is proposed here though: > > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Wikidata > > > > And it keeps that particular wikidata tag nicely together with the name > > when sorted alphabetically. > > I don't see any point loading our servers down with wikidata content.
