I'm OK with this as well. I especially wish to call to the attention to others who may do mechanical wiki edits like this (by Mateusz' good example) that he was careful to: 1) Explain the problem; it confuses mappers/map consumers and wiki authors/readers, 2) Offer a polite proposal as well

Replacing the deprecated `wikipedia:en` tags with newer `wikipedia` tags sounds like a great idea. As mentioned on Slack, I agree that if you can add `wikidata` tags at the same time, even better. Thank you for your work on this! Bryan > On Feb 26, 2019, at 7:51 AM, Mateusz Konieczny >

Old style wikipedia link is one where language is stored in key, not in value. For example "wikipedia:en=Kansas" is an old style link, while "wikipedia=en:Kansas" is a form that is currently standard. Many old-style Wikipedia links remain and updating them to new style manually is boring,
