I admit not knowing wikidata that well, so the following might be misinformed : There can't be a mapping from every wikipedia article to a corresponding wikidata id. Where in wikidata would you link all the wikipedia "List of Foo" articles for example ? And if I'm creating a new article for that restaurant I like, how does the corresponding wikidata object get created and linked ? Automatically creating wikipedia articles out of wikidata objects shouldn't be too hard. The reverse seems unlikely. As far as I understand, wikidata will always be playing catch-up to wikipedia, to some extent. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
