name = Henri Farmanstraat<br>
description = Luchthavenpionier, 1874-1958<br>
<br>
If existant, you could add an Wikipedia link<br>
wikipedia = en:Henri_Farman<br>
<br>
Most people and locations have a page on a website (to be used with the
url tag) or blog from a cultural or historic associaton :<br>
eg<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.bloggen.be/huldenberg/archief.php?ID=74">http://www.bloggen.be/huldenberg/archief.php?ID=74</a><br>
could be added for De Tomme<br>

So many streets are named after mayors. Most of those won't have a

<div class="h5">In Gent I find the following in the name tags:<br>
<br>
Henri Farmanstraat ((Luchthavenpionier, 1874-1958))<br>
Vincent Evrardlaan ((Oud burgemeester van Gentbrugge, 1896-1995))<br>
Guido Gezelle straat ((Dichter, 1830-1899))<br>

Interesting information, but technically not really part of the name of
the street. (Nobody will add that as part of an addres). Still, I also
already wanted to be able to add this information. Can this information
be stored in a name:etymology-tag? And while we're at it, we may be
able to add a link to Wikipedia as well?<br>
<br>
name:wikipedia=nl:Guido Gezelle<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>
