[Tagging] Tagging of Country Names

[Andy Townsend]

Straying from the point slightly, but what would be really, really nice would be a worked example of a way of obtaining wikidata information‎ as part of map data processing (e.g. to fit in with osm2pgsql's lua style file processing or osmandmapcreator, or whatever else you're using to both import and update osm data).

Cheers,
Andy

Indeed.

As a matter of interest, how many countries are currently tagged with
their Wikidata ID?

If not many, would people like a bot to add such tags?
