Ok guys, cuisine=fastfood was something I came up with after ten seconds of
thought, I know it's a bad example. Let's forget it.

I found a better example, amenity=place_of_worship + religion=christian
that is Q16970 (Church (building)). amenity=place_of_worship itself can be
Q199451 (Pagoda) and religion=christian itself can be anything connected to
christianism (monasteries, cemeteries..) So you need a combination of these
two tags for this project to work.

Again, I think this project is great. It's just that I'm afraid it won't
get any traction if people see that you can't define all terms.

On the other hand, amenity=fastfood in osm might be more inclusive than
> wikidatas "Fastfood restaurants" (Q1751429), so mapping them 1:1 might also

These terms with fuzzy borders will never be 100% the same in both
projects. I think 90% is pretty good.
