</span>We generally discourage foreign keys (that are only usable together with<br>
a different data set and that are not signposted locally).<br>
<br>
When Wikidata keys were first added to OSM, I thought this was something<br>
limited to place names of a certain importance and I didn't object.<br>
<br>
Seeing that this now leads to the automatic assumption that Wikidata IDs<br>
are practically admissible *everywhere* where Wikidata has defined an<br>
ID, I am having second thoughts about the whole issue.<br>
<br>
In theory, almost everything we map could be expressed by a Wikidata ID.<br>
If welcoming a Wikidata link on a city place node means that by<br>
extension I also have to welcome "amenity:wikidata=Q123456" on something<br>
that is, say, an ice cream parlour because Q123456 is the generic<br>
Wikidata category for ice cream parlours, </blockquote><div><br></div><div>This is wrong also for me.
