<p dir="ltr">I think we need a separate instalation of wikibase on our wiki. No need to fork wikibase. Then we can organize our tags in categories, subcategories, relations to outside data like wikidata and so on.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Not only that, but make that wikibase a sort of an API to our tags. For example, if a data consumer wants to render all places where you can get food (restaurants, fast foods, convenience stores) it would just link a category named "food places" to an icon and that would be it. No need for everyone to understand all the possible tags that our database has.</p>

Fork Wikidata? Why? Doesn't this community have enough to do, just mapping?<br>

That is indeed what's proposed.<br>
