OpenStreetMap

Hi nyuriks,

could you please revert your additions of a wikidata=* tag on all objects where the wikipedia article is a list (at least if the list is based on a spatial correlation) and does not describe a certain feature?

For example, it is not necessary to add the wikidata=* tag pointing to the list of all "Stolpersteine" in Ludwigsburg (https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3776302679) because such a list could be retrieved without using a potentially incomplete list in the wikipedia: Just use the ST_Intersects function of PostGIS or an alternative of your favourite query engine.

If you think that I am wrong, please start a new thread on the Talk mailing list and cite this comment.

Best regards

Michael

Hi Michael, it would be fairly easy to find such objects with http://tinyurl.com/y9crhydx - it shows 3900 objects in the world. The problem is that once wikidata ID is removed, it won't be possible to find them anymore. Would it make sense to use a different tag from "wikipedia" for these? E.g. "related:wikipedia" ? Because these pages are not about these objects, pages simply mention them.

The problem is that anyone using iD editor who adds "de:Liste der Stolpersteine in Ludwigsburg" wikipedia link would automatically also add the "wikidata" link. I don't think either wikipedia or wikidata link should be added, because that page is not about that node.

Please either revert at least the "wrong" parts of your changeset or start a new thread on the Talk mailing list.

This discussion is relevant enough to be discussed on the Talk mailing list where it will get enough attention.

I reverted all items tagged as lists in wikidata. There were a lot of them, and added a fixme note. The wikipedia tag description in the osm wiki says that we should only use it if the article is about the place. A list is a collection of such places. We should start a discussion on a talk... I'm not sure I have enough time to handle it though :(
