This should explain more of what wikidata is capable of doing via 1 tag: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/LogicalViolinist/diary/39872 Stewart I do agree that the tag "is_in" is completely useless, I was more targeting the sub-tags(I put a star not to list them, but I will) For example Ottawa: n

With respect to linking wikidata and OSM, all those properties should be added to wikidata if they don't already exist. Then link to it by simply adding the wikidata ID in OSM. Then if OSM ever wants to merge wikidata in, it can all be done automatically via the wikidata ID. Most of what is in that

Seeing as ID[1] and Mapbox[2] are pushing to incorporate wikidata into OSM, I thought it would be a perfect little project when mappers have nothing better to do or in their downtime. The wikidata link can help developers get vital information like the current population, current mayor, flags, coa
