<p>I recently stumbled upon the tag wikimedia_commons see <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikimedia_commons" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikimedia_commons</a></p>
<p>Its definition is: "<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline;float:none">links to
related Wikimedia Commons' media of the feature "<br></span></p></div></blockquote><div>Yep. That's correct, apart from the word "links." They're not really links. Not in</div><div>the HTML meaning of the word.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><p><span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline;float:none">

<p>But, the only 2 examples contain no links (as in URL-links but
instead file- and category names):</p>
<ul>
<tt>wikimedia_commons=<a>File:Bicycle</a> crossing, Poland, Kraków,
Josepha Conrada.JPG<br>
wikimedia_commons=Category:St Paul, Birmingham</tt></ul></div></blockquote><div>Yep. That's correct.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><ul>
</ul>
<p><tt>I see in the database that a lot of image= tags contains
direct urls to Wikimedia Commons.</tt></p></div></blockquote><div>You CAN do that, if you want. But the image tag is a bit of a mess, because</div><div>more than one format has been used for the value (URLs and wikimedia</div><div>references, as well as others). So best to use wikimedia_commons=* for</div><div> wikimedia commons images.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

PPS: I also suggested that we start rendering images on feature
pages on <a href="http://openstreetmap.org" target="_blank">openstreetmap.org</a>,<br></p></div></blockquote><div>Also seems sensible. Sorta like what gk.historic.place does on historic/heritage</div><div>POIs with images if you click on them for details. Or, if ever we move to vector</div><div>maps, maybe details would appear in a pop-up if you hover over a POI. I think</div><div>this is a good idea, but others may have different opinions.</div><div><br></div><div>-- <br></div><div>Paul</div><div><br></div></div></div>
