OpenStreetMap

What is that change? Where was discussed?

Hello Zbigniew,

The errors have been identified with the osmose tool: http://osmose.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/ . The fixes are detailed here and follow the OSM guidelines: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmose/issues (search wikipedia in the page). In the present case the issue was that the links were listed aa "wikipedia:pl=article" when they should have been "wikipedia=pl:article".

OK, but what about e.g. that case? http://osm.mapki.com/history/node.php?id=31889156
Every village in Poland has own wikipage in polish wikipedia, e.g. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pielgrzymowice_%28wojew%C3%B3dztwo_ma%C5%82opolskie%29
In this case should be add wikipedia=pl:* instead replace wikipedia:en= -> wikipedia=

I mean: "replace wikipedia:en= -> wikipedia=en:*"

Hello Zbigniew,

I do not add new tags. I mean if there is a wikipedia:en=article, I transform it into a wikipedia=en:article. The issue here is that there was no pl link already. That being said I fully agree with your point. I will try to submit the idea to the osmose developers to see whether they can add a test when there is already an article present in the local language. I have seen the issue a bit all over the place in Poland. Maybe you want to raise the issue with the Polish community to fix that?

OK, but I think you should consult your plans with polish community BEFORE change.

Hello Zbigniew,

Just to clarify, I do not have any plan about pl:. Whether the Polish community wants to use pl: rather than en: or not is completely up to them and independent from my corrections. I merely agreed that it would make more sense to favour pl: in Poland (even though technically any link in any language is fine). My corrections are simply about using the correct format as documented on the wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikipedia (whether it is en:, pl: or anything else does not matter). At any rate, I do not plan to do additional corrections around Poland for a while. Let me know if I can help later on.
