[OSM-talk] Wikipedia & canvec/geobase import

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi all,
i am wondering what you all think about me adding wikipedia links to
the different map features?
Ie. esker, snowshed...
Or i could add a link to EVERY map feature, including the ones that are obvious?

Another alternative is to add a "description:*" or "definition=*"
(spelled correctly)

what about having a pop-up bubble on features, where the default shows
the osm wiki page discribing the feature.
(ie, if your hovering over an unnamed school, the osm article for
'school' would be shown. If it was labled, the official school website
would be shown?
On the OSM article, there IS (or should be) a wikipedia link.

Then if it is a place or attraction, the default could be wikitravel?

Or perhaps i dont need to add tags as the (to be created software)
would be able to spot the basic tags & use them?

Cheers,
Sam
