When we talking about single edit "half-good" is not good. But process 
of semi-automated and automated wikitags fix could be easily separated 
in many independent edits even within single changeset(change of 
wikitags for one object does not depend of changing wikitags for other). 
And even when some of these edits is bad while most of edits is good 
whole concept seems good too.

I don't research situation about (semi)automated wikidata fix deeply. I 
just find out that number of arguments against it are same that used 
against whole amateur cartography concept.

No-no... I'm not talking about generating wikitags by matching. Just 
oppose: I mean we should use separate wikitags, but managing these tags 
require more understanding of Wikipedia than just local knowledge.  And 
_*if *_we focus on local knowledge as major and only source for any tags 
_*then*_ we should forbid wikitags as they could not be supported with 
just local knowledge.

And I really doubt that intentionally link to redirection page instead 
of true page as Tomas Strapius do here: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1717783246/history is good idea in 
Wikipedia-way.
