Just caught up with this thread, & I'm unsure if it's a joke.
If there are any problems/disagreements with names in OSM then surely
the same problem occurs in Wikiland?

I suggest we create a roadmap for deprecating of storing and updating
names in OSM for objects with a Wikidata tag.
The rationale is explained here:
https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/19655
This of course affects the whole project and data consumers as well.
Every OSM user will have to become a Wikidata user as well to edit the
names or add name references (through the editors)
Substantial changes will have to be made:
* nominatim will need to support fetching names from wikidata somehow.
It could probably be done on the fly.
* openstreetmap.org will need to fetch from wikidata when displaying
any object.
* rendering the standard map will have to support fetching from wikidata.
* all editors would have to fetch and enable editing of Wikidata objects.
* maybe it no longer makes sense to have 2 separate logins? We should
unify the logging in as much as possible. Ideas are welcome on how to
do that. Perhaps retire signing up as OSM user on osm.org and ask
users to create a Wikimedia account instead and log in with that?
I personally don't see any problems connecting Wikimedia and OSM
closer than the islands they are today.
As mentioned in the ticket above data consumers like Mapbox already
prefer Wikidata names. I'm guessing thats because they are simply
better quality, better modeled, better referenced and better protected
against vandalism.
WDYT?

Ps I choose this list because this not only relates to tagging, but to
the wider ecosystem.
