tagging name tag is a fundamental part of OSM tag, offloading it to a third party service is a mistake that will not happen https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/19655 contains several misleading, wrong, mistaken and problematic claims, statements and implications but I have no time to process in detail as the entire idea is fundamentally bad, mistaken, problematic, broken, not workable, not acceptable, not going to happen and wrong. Some samples: "there is no such thing as an international name. Names are part of a language whih is part of a culture. They are not GIS objects and the osm datamodel does not handle this complexity well at all." Are you aware that we have other tags beyond name tag? loc_name, name:pl and many others? "No more name vandalism in osm. We export the name handling to wikidata which has a much better system for handling vandalism." Because vandalism in third-party service is superior? Are you seriously claiming that Wikidata has less trouble with vandalism and deals with it better? > Substantial changes will have to be made: > * nominatim will need to support fetching names from wikidata somehow.
