[Tagging] wikidata instead of wikipedia

[Erik Johansson]

Yeah it's pretty "easy" to get wikidata data. Warning though; the data
in  Wikidata is not all CC0 licensed. You never know where the data
came from they are not as strict about these things as OSM is.

lang=en;
title=OpenStreetMap;
bad_title=gracefully_handle_bad_input

curl  "www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&sites=${lang}wiki&titles=$title|$bad_title&props=labels&props=info&format=json"|
  perl -lpe 's/([{},])/$1\n/g'


#curl "$lang.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=$title&prop=langlinks&format=json&lllimit=500"|
#  sed 's/}/}\n/g'
