According to taginfo [1] 148 065 amenity 226 shop 132 health_facility:type 91 disused:amenity 68 healthcare 38 symbol 34 type actually the most sensible would be in my opinion the healthcare one, but given the data best would probably be to unify the few other tagging styles after crosschecking that it is really a pharmacy Cheers Morray [1]http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=pharmacy#values ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Re: [OSM-talk] 176k Wikidata tags to add to OSM
Hi Edward, any updates on your project? As said before, I would love to see some test imports.

It looks like Germany doesn't need an automated import of Wikidata tags. Why are they mismatching? Maybe we can fix it.

Re: [OSM-talk] 112k Wikidata tags to add to OSM
Dear Edward, first: great! And I really support the idea of importing wikidata tags. One thing I still don't get is why you are relying on wikipedia categories instead of on the instance of property in wikidata. In my view the correct way would be to use these and if they are not present at the moment make them become present. Since you already have good guesses about what an entity is an isntance of, maybe your guesses could be integrated in a game like: https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-game/# . Afterwards you could rely on these and both communities would have gained. Cheers Morray ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
