[talk-au] Wikidata IDs in OSM

[Andy Mabbett]

Hi folks,

Up here in the UK, and elsewhere, we're adding Wikidata IDs to objects in OSM.

For example:

   http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/22814079

includes the ID "Q5642705", which refers to:

   https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5642705

Firstly, I'd like to encourage you to add IDs manually, as described at:

   http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikidata

Secondly, we have had success in using a bot to add IDs automatically,
but the bot approval list requires local agreement. How would you feel
about us, or one of you (I think the code can be shared), doing so for
all of Australia, or on a state-by-state (or other division) basis?
