Certainly a tool to check and correct obviously broken or duplicate
wikipedia=*, wikimedia_commons=*, wikidata=* links from the OSM map
would be very useful.
However, I've met inconsistencies which could be noticed only by a
knowledgeable human on the ground. For example, this coordinates
correction
<https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chapelle_Notre-Dame-des-Voirons_de_Bo%C3%ABge&diff=121789421&oldid=121556970>
for the chapel Chapelle Notre-Dame-des-Voirons de Boëge
<https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapelle_Notre-Dame-des-Voirons_de_Bo%C3%ABge>
. Before this correction it had wrong coordinates placing it erroneously
on absolutely another mountain. I could correct it reliably only after
actually visiting this chapel for making some photos for its article.
The comprehensive solution would be to have a dedicated Wikipedia layer
on the OpenStreetMap. Now we have Standard, Cycle, Transport, and
Humanitarian layers. Why not Wikipedia layer similar to this
<http://ausleuchtung.ch/geo_wiki/?lat=46.18824490036672&lng=6.177406311035156&zm=14&lang=en&ds=wiki&rd=10>
, so that a user can select Wikipedia language and see the geo-markers
corresponding to Wikipedia articles on the map. Or see clickable
geo-markers corresponding to wikipedia=*, wikimedia_commons=*,
wikidata=* tags.
This tool is using MediaWIki API and Overpass API, but for the OSM
Wikipedia layer the data could be pre-calculated and synchronized
periodically in order not to overload the APIs.
In fact, I am using the OSM map mostly with Wikipedia markers. For
example, I was recently on a short holiday trip to Stockholm and the
first thing I do I look what Wikipedia articles exist for the city
<http://ausleuchtung.ch/geo_wiki/?lat=59.324472209890146&lng=18.0710506439209&zm=16&lang=en&ds=wiki&rd=10>
to select places to visit and to read about. So in my opinion, such a
Wikipedia layer would be kind of synergy, - the creation of a whole that
is greater than the simple sum of its parts.
Best regards,
Oleksiy

Hi Yurik,
Nice work.
I'm interested in make such validation a service, to identify and fix
any inconsistencies between OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia/Wikidata.
I'll be working on that on the next days.
Regards,
J. Gustavo

I have been steadily cleaning up some (many) broken Wikipedia and
Wikidata tags, and would like to solicit some help :)
To my knowledge, there is no site where one could add a set of OSM IDs
that need attention (something like a bug tracker lite, where one could
come and randomly pick a few IDs to fix), so I made a few tables:
List of Wikipedia tags that do not resolve to Wikidata tags. Most of the
time, the WP tag is incorrect, sometimes it was deleted, and very rarely
there is no matching Wikidata item (needs to be created by hand).
