Seeing as ID[1] and Mapbox[2] are pushing to incorporate wikidata into OSM, I thought it would be a perfect little project when mappers have nothing better to do or in their downtime.
The wikidata link can help developers get vital information like the current population, current mayor, flags, coat of arms,etc. The list goes on. This is a lot of data that can't necessarily be encoded into OSM. This would help simplify the use of OSM data for small developers. I've started a project on the OSMCanada Tasking Manager here: http://tasks.osmcanada.ca/project/40 Join in for a more data rich Canada :) [1] https://www.mapbox.com/blog/id-wikidata/ [2] https://www.mapbox.com/blog/geocoding-wikidata/
