Hello all, I'm interested in working across Wikipedia and OSM, e.g. fixing Wikidata tags in OSM, and coordinates in Wikipedia, etc. I've also found this very useful in terms of ensuring that data is correct on both.
Does anybody have suggestions for faster linking from Wikipedia to OSM? To explain: The wikipedia coordinates link (on a wikipedia page) is something like: https://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Nuraghe_Santu_Antine¶ms=40.4865_N_8.7698_E_ which then lets you go to OSM (by coordinates) - but obviously, you have to click that link first, then pick OSM from the list on that page. On OSM, you then have to click edit to identify the object referred to in OSM (if there is one). So it's not too bad, but if you do this regularly, it's a bit tedious. A better way would be if the wmflabs url could be rewritten (clientside, e.g. greasemonkey/tampermonkey), to have a direct link from the wikipedia page to OSM. Even better would be if the url contained the wikidata item https://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Nuraghe_Santu_Antine¶ms=40.4865_N_8.7698_E_&wikidata=Q925624 (could be done on the wmflabs side, or also with greasmonkey, as it's embedded on the wikipedia page). Greasemonkey could add a link from the wikipedia page to a resolving service, say https://WikidataToOSM/?pagename=Nuraghe_Santu_Antine¶ms=40.4865_N_8.7698_E_&wikidata=Q925624 which would allow redirect to the actual object on OSM: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/258094245 That would mean that with one click on a Wikipedia page, you'd see the corresponding object in OSM. The other way is straight forward: Because that listing on OSM rewrites wikidata/wikipedia tags to URLs, it's just one click to go back from there to wikidata/wikipedia, so that's straight forward. (Ideally, Greasemonkey would also add a direct link to remote control.) (Also, the OSM search doesn't return anything for the wikidata object http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Q925624 - would be great if it did.) Does anybody have any thoughts on this, know of a tool, or coded something in the past? Many thanks, Bjoern
