I agree. This is purely mechanical work. Drudgery is evil.
I'm willing to try writing a script once I finish my other scripting
projects. This should be

No you can't and you shouldn't. Clicking
Sarah, my understanding is that MapRoulette does not support it -- I cannot
upload the following:
For Object ID , change one set of tags for another -- accept or
decline?
Would be great if I was wrong.
Yes, the community can do it, the question is - should it? Given 2
challenges, one that

Mark, these do rarely happen, but do they add value? Having data that
points to a non-(machine)-verifiable redirect, a redirect that could be
deleted or changed at any moment is very fragile.
I think these should be resolved to the target, and treated as I described

What about the
You do have a valid point about getting the local community exposure to
Wikidata. But I see no contradiction between that and my proposal, because
I think it would be very easy to come up with countless Wikipedia/Wikidata
cleanup tasks that require human attention. There is always be plenty of
By using Osmose, it would be possible to involve the local
communities. People would learn about Wikidata, and might start adding
them to other objects as well. They might even start contributing to
Wikidata as well.
By just running your program, you would only fix a small number of
entries and
According to Martijn (of MapRoulette fame), there is no way a challenge can
link to object IDs. MapRoulette can only highlight location. Nor can I
provide a proposed fix, which means someone would have to manually find the
broken object, navigate to Wikipedia, copy/paste the title, and save the
or via Osmose ?

At the moment, there are nearly 40,000 OSM objects whose wikipedia tag does
not match their wikidata tag. Most of them are Wikipedia redirects, whose
target is the right wikipedia article. If we are not ready to abandon
wikipedia tags just yet (I don't think we should ATM), I think we should
fix
