[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Mapping Wikipedia artciles

[Brian Prangle]

Hi Andy

I've been doing my bit already but not systematically - I'll be a bit more
consistent in future. I've probably tagged a lot with the full wikipedia
URL which is not correct so maybe someone could do a mechanical edit on
those. How about tags to Wikimedia Commons?

How do I find out if an object has a wikidata relationship?

Regards

Brian
