Hello Yuri,
if you look on the updated version of the map from Simon[1]
you can see that we use now text labels for Wikipedia entries.

This is a design element from the WikiMiniAtlas and I think it has an
positiv effect for the user to set the visual focus on Wikipedia
content. It's also the aim to look different that google maps and it's a
quick (and dirty) way to multilingual maps. ;-)

The problem we have now is, that we have on zommlevels that are on
Country level tons of duplications because we have the Wikipedia-label
and the Text from OSM background. If we only switch to a background
style I would miss useful informations from OSM like street names.
So it would be interesting to discuse if we could get an map where
objects with an Wikipedia/Wikidata tag are transparent. We can also talk
about if we can get a vector tiles layer with these objects from my
database to use the geojson tiles in Leaflet...
I also see a chance that labels are becoming more consitant during
panning and zooming in.

So perhaps it would be possible if you could prepair an hangout to talk
about this and find a date for it via doodle or so. Europes evening
hours would be fine for me, but it's christmas time and the people are
busy.

Best regards,
Tim alias Kolossos
