[Tagging] Subsequent wikipedia links

[Jo]

I've been experimenting with Wikidata a bit. I'm not a Wikipedian, rather a
convinced Openstreetmapper. One of the problems I had with Wiktionary and
Wikipedia is how data is duplicated over and over again. Wikidata finally
started solving that.

We should take advantage from that.

Here are some examples of things I consider useful:

Everything named after Guido Gezelle (mostly streets)

http://overpass-turbo.eu/?Q=%28relation[%22name%3Aetymology%3Awikidata%22%3D%22Q336977%22]%3B%0A%3E%3E%3B%0A%3E%3B%0Away[%22name%3Aetymology%3Awikidata%22%3D%22Q336977%22]%3B%0A%3E%3B%0Anode[%22name%3Aetymology%3Awikidata%22%3D%22Q336977%22]%3B%29%3B%0Aout%20meta%3B&C=51.98185;4.83689;7&R

Replace it with Q232785 and you get everything related to Father Damien.
Unfortunately I didn't find where they buried his hands on Molokai.
