[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Wikidata tags for the West Midlands available as OSM XML

[Edward Betts]

Hi,

For a while now I've been working on an automated system to match OSM entities
with Wikidata items. I've built something that will let you search for a place
and find all Wikidata items in that location with a matching OSM entity.

In the past there was interest from the West Midlands mapping community to
adding wikidata tags. Here are some saved places in the West Midlands:

  https://osm.wikidata.link/filtered/West_Midlands

Each result shows a list of matches between Wikidata and OSM. The matches in
each location are available to download as an OSM change XML file. Local
mappers can download this OSM XML, inspect it in JOSM and if it looks correct
they can upload the changes.

Let me know if you've got any questions or ideas.
