That's correct, apart from the word "links." They're not really links. Not in the HTML meaning of the word.

But the image tag is a bit of a mess, because more than one format has been used for the value (URLs and wikimedia references, as well as others). So best to use wikimedia_commons=* for wikimedia commons images. > I suggest we discuss changing the definition to: "File- or category name > to related Wikimedia Commons' media of the feature " > Sounds sensible. Actually, I hadn't considered using the category name and didn't know it worked with any carto that handles File (such as gk.historic.place). > Furthermore I would like to hear if anyone have any problems with mass > re-tagging of all commons URLs in image and wikimedia_commons tags to the > above format.

There are likely to be many objections, even if your proposal is sensible and there aren't many to change. > PPS: I also suggested that we start rendering images on feature pages on > openstreetmap.org, > Also seems sensible. Sorta like what gk.historic.place does on historic/heritage POIs with images if you click on them for details. Or, if ever we move to vector maps, maybe details would appear in a pop-up if you hover over a POI. I think this is a good idea, but others may have different opinions. -- Paul
