[Talk-ca] Wikidata in OpenStreetMap

[James]

Ok to clarify the only thing you are adding is the wikidata tag(which is a
foreign key to wikidata (i.e. Q247372)), which is in the instructions in
the tasking manager on what tags to add.

The other tags are precisions(instead of doing massive spatial joins) you
will know that say Ottawa is in Ontario and is in Canada which is in North
America(also easier to do queries against: Ottawa, Ontario or Ottawa,
Illinois?
