[Tagging] [OSM-talk] Fixing Starbucks Wikipedia Tags (Was Nominatim Weakness)

I was thinking of using osmosis to filter out objects with wikipedia
tag and then running a query in PostGIS. What a brain fade I've had,
we have Taginfo to the rescue:

It's really interesting to see Wikipedia tags on individual ways of
routes, and this seems very widespread. Do you think this should be
fixed by assigning wikipedia=* only to relations?

There are counterexamples, like this:
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/wikipedia=pl%3AUlica%20Pu%C5%82awska%20w%20Warszawie
which actually *does* refer to a particular street.
