[talk-au] Maproullette challenge for feedback - Australian Brands without Wikidata

[Andrew Harvey]

I think doing this via MapRoulette challanges is a good way to go, and I
like that this can then be split up so only people with local knowledge are
editing as opposed to doing it without local knowledge.

I think care should be taken to not blindly "upgrade" all the tags, there
could be subtleties particularly around cuisine tags, or name tags that
should be carefully considered. Even then some stores with the same brand
might have a different shop tag for different outlets.

For example my personal preference is to tag the

name: brand + branch

eg. so Westfield Chatswood is tagged

name=Westfield Chatswood
brand=Westfield
branch=Chatswood
brand:wikidata= -> wikidata for Westfield brand
wikidata= -> wikidata for Westfield Chatswood

Same applies to bank branches, car shops etc.
