Forwarding from the OSM list for info:
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Yuri Astrakhan <yuriastrak...@gmail.com> Date: 21 January 2017 at 01:40 Subject: [OSM-talk] RU Wikipedia now uses OSM by Wikidata ID To: "t...@openstreetmap.org" <t...@openstreetmap.org> Russian Wikipedia just replaced all of their map links in the upper right corner (geohack) with the <maplink> Kartographer extension! Moreover, when clicking the link, it also shows the location outline, if that object exists in OpenStreetMap with a corresponding Wikidata ID (ways and relations only, no nodes). My deepest respect to my former Interactive Team colleagues and volunteers who have made it possible! (This was community wishlist #21) Example - city of Salzburg (click coordinates in the upper right corner, or in the infobox on the side): https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%97%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%86%D0%B1%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B3 P.S. I am still working on improving Wikidata linking, and will be very happy to collaborate with anyone on improving OSM data quality. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list t...@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Wikidata mailing list Wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
