>Infobox is a box on the side of the tag page on OSM Wiki, listing the

>at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:tourism%3Dhotel
>
>Currently it contains at the bottom link to external site Wikidata or

>
>See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Wikidata_marked.png with
>marked Wikidata link.
>
>I propose to remove this link from displayed infoboxes as as confusing,
>unnecessary and not worth using infobox space.
>
>Infobox is only for the most important information.
>
>Link to sort-of-related Wikidata page is not an important information
>and therefore should be removed.
>
>It is highly confusing and unclear, and OpenStreetMap in general and
>OSM Wiki specifically already suffers from overwhelming complexity. We
>do not need unnecessary and not needed complexity.

>Preemptive explanation

>This proposal is about removal of specific part of infobox on OSM Wiki
>pages - which either links Wikidata item or requests editors to add it.
>Data itself will not be lost.

>
>* It has no impact on anything mapped
>* It has no impact on wikidata=*, species:wikidata=*, brand:wikidata=*
>  or any other tag in the OpenStreetMap database.
>* It has no impact on data items, including P12 property.
>* It will be still possible to add and use Wikidata links stored in
>  data items
>- even if it will be no longer possible on OSM Wiki
>* It has no impact on linking relevant Wikipedia articles in "External
>  links" sections
>- this is often very useful
>* It will not lead to any data loss, but will make Wikidata link far
>  less prominent
>* Wikidata is different site than sites such as OSM Wiki, taginfo, OSM
>  Data items or Wikipedia.
>* I tried to remove this without full scale proposal (this was also
>  introduced without full scale proposal) but it got stuck
>
>Why RFC again?

>
>I needed to write special verification script to ensure that I can copy
>all info present only on OSM Wiki into data items to protect against
>any data loss that would be caused otherwise.
>
>And then move such info.
>
>In case of a succcesful vote I would ensure that no data is lost.
