Hi Oleksiy, It'e surely useful to link OSM objects and wikimedia content.
As you mentionned, OSM objects can easilly be linked to wikidata with a simple scalar value. Since wikimedia video can also refer to wikidata object, a link between OSM and video sounds redundent. Such a link shouldn't be done as to ensure of data quality and its maintenance All the best Francois 2017-01-30 9:52 GMT+01:00 Oleksiy Muzalyev <oleksiy.muzal...@bluewin.ch>: > Dear fellow mappers, > > It is possible now to upload to the Wikimedia Commons the videos which > illustrate Wikipedia articles.
