[OSM-talk] 112k Wikidata tags to add to OSM

[Archer]

There is a difference between municipality and settlements like villages.
Wikipedia articles are often about the whole municipality and not about a
single village. So the wikidata-tag should only be tagged onto the
administrative relation for the municipality

Please do not add any Wikidata-Tags to German villages/municipality. This
would cause a big mess as the mismatch list shows.

I'd oppose this import at all at the moment. There are currently 21533
objects with wikidata tags in the OSM database at the moment. Your
algorithm produces 2393 mismatches. This is a error rate of 10 % !!

I think it's better to have not so much wikidata-tags in our database than
about 11000 wrong tags.
