Hi,
i'm just *thinking out loud* here.

Why is it that all of the templates for the detail box on the right
have "Google definition" and a link to a search for that tag on google
search?

If i was an active "wikipediapractioner" who was interested in
colaboration with maps. I would actually be offended that their is no
link to the wikipedia article discribing the tags.

The Google definition SHOULD be listed 3rd, with wikitionary listed second.

This would at least show the wikipediactioners that we want to
encourage people to use the other wikimedia products.

Hopefully we can fix this, i dont mind going in there and changing the
existing tags with the template to reflect this.

Thanks,

ps, based on the feedback, i decided  not to use the wikipedia tag
with the canvec/geobase map features, as its not needed.
