The issue here is that these strings are the name of the wikipedia
article in various language, which is *not* the same as the name of
the location in various languages. Wikipedia likes to add some
disambiguation text, which we do not want in OSM.

Call me stupid, but I don't see any clickable label list tab ? The
closest thing I see is the list of wikipedia articles, which has the
problem mentioned above.
