[OSM-talk] RU Wikipedia now uses OSM by Wikidata ID

[Oleksiy Muzalyev]

Yes. It works my end too. I got it now. I was clicking on the link "O" 
to display the OSM map with the Standard Layer, but not on the 
coordinates in an article.

The map with the outline opens, however this map is very simplified, it 
does not render many useful for a traveler objects, such as museums, 
libraries, supermarkets,  universities, hospitals, etc., which are shown 
on the OSM map, MAPS.ME map, etc. What for did we map these objects? I 
do not see so far how I can practically use such a map.

With best regards,
Oleksiy
