</div>I'm very strongly in faviour of tagging with Wikidata IDs; see my<br>
project proposal, at:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Pigsonthewing/Wikipedia" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Pigsonthewing/Wikipedia</a><br>
<br>
but the level of understanding needed presents a high barrier to entry.<br>
<br>
I think we should continue to allow editors to tag with links to<br>
Wikipedia articles, but have the editing tool, or a bot, convert the<br>
tag to one with the equivalent Wikidata ID (or perhaps add a Wikidata<br>
tag, leaving the Wikipedia tag in situ).<br>
