<html><head></head><body>This all conversation confort my (un-educated, I confess) idea of the uselessness of cross referencing the Wikipedia ecosystem with OSM with OSM tags. <br>
<br>
Automated addition of wikidata id to OSM objects seems worthy, so why not doing it on the fly instead of writing it to the database? Next year maybe? <br>
<br>
Also, I always wondered what it supposed to happen when an OSM contributor who like me does not give a damn of an external ID when he/she edits an OSM element? <br>

At the same time it is so easy to <br />check if a Wikipedia page actually exists programmatically [1] while a <br />mapper ads a wikipedia=* tag. Certainly, it a bit more complicated in <br />the JOSM as it may be used offline. But in any case, why to check it <br />manually? It is a kind of a routine task which could be done by a machine.<br /><br />Another issue is that a popular mobile app <a href="http://Maps.me">Maps.me</a> does show Wikipedia <br />link all right, but does not show Wikidata link at all even when it was <br />added for the object. Wikidata article is more resilient than a <br />Wikipedia article, which could be renamed, deleted due to a lack of <br />notability or sources, etc.<br /><br />I can check in <a href="http://Maps.me">Maps.me</a> if a Wikipedia article tag is OK, but wikidata <br />entry is not visible to me for some reason while I am already near an <br />object with a smartphone.<br /><br />[1]<br /><br /><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11916429/check-if-url-is-exist-or-not">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11916429/check-if-url-is-exist-or-not</a><br /><br /><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2280394/how-can-i-check-if-a-url-exists-via-php">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2280394/how-can-i-check-if-a-url-exists-via-php</a><br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />Oleksiy<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><hr /><br />talk mailing list<br />talk@openstreetmap.org<br /><a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk</a><br /></pre></blockquote></div><br>
