Hi,

I think that there is a danger of confusion here because Wikidata has
its own ideas about what a tree is and they might differ from our
definition, and I foresee people arguing "I am using this tag here
because the Wikidata Q-whatever thing says I can".
For example, on historic=monument, wikidata says in Q4989906: "imposing
structure created to commemorate a person or event, or used for that
purpose", whereas OSM says: "A memorial object, which is especially
large (one can go inside, walk on or through it) or very tall (see the
examples), built to remember, show respect to a person or group of
people or to commemorate an event."
These definitions are not identical and will rarely be.
But having said that, I *did* think that the vote was about hiding the
wikidata item from the infobox (and especially hiding the obnoxious
"there's no wikidata link yet please create one") - which would have
mean the removal of a couple lines of code on the infobox, instead of
editing every single page with a bot. Looking back now, the vote said:
"It will not lead to any data loss, but will make Wikidata link far less
prominent."
"Make link far less prominent" is not the same as "delete link".
Therefore the bot activity has, in my opinion, no community backing and
needs to be stopped and reverted.
You can't have people vote on one thing and then do something else.
Bye
Frederik
