Hello, the usage of more than one Wikipedia language would be cool.
The connection of Wikipedia and OSM should be a central point on our servers.
We have a big collection of Wikipedia POIs (>600.000) and I have the
idea that we should transfer it half-automatic to OSM-objects. There
are some reasons why I think that a automatical solution seems not
possible:
*WP collects only point coordinates. It's not possible to transfer it
to line and area objects in OSM.
*we would get duplicate entries if we would copy the points to OSM.
*there are legal concerns because it is no secret that WP gets some
coordinates from google Earth images.
So a tool or a JOSM plugin would be nice to drag the wp-Coordinates to
existing OSM object easily. So you wouldn't take the coords directly
(legal concerns).
This sound like a lot of manual,stupid,double work but the usage of
the datas would be than more easily. We couldn't stop OSM to link to
wikipedia, so we should work that it's going in the right direction.
I believe that it would be not useful to overflow the OSM database
with links to all wp-languages, the english and a alternative WP links
should be enough. But on our servers we should have a database with
all languages filled up with the help of interwikilinks. So we could
provide a map with Wikipedia objects in each language and we could
perhaps also link from Wikipedia to this objects which is interesting
for long objects like rivers.
If a column for each of the >200 languages would be to much, I would
say that the 20 most popular languages would be nice:
en,de,nl,ru,fr,it,ja,es,ca,pl,pt,sv,da,cs,fi,no,eo,zh,sk,tr.
Greetings Kolossos

Okay, the database is now empty and ready to be

Great!
Peter, would it be possible to add a few more tags to the osm2pgsql style?
addr:postcode, population, height and maxspeed might be useful tags to
have in addition. Also perhaps some more of the wikipedia links might be
useful such as wikipedia:de wikipedia:en wikipedia:es, and wikipedi:fr
I assume you will otherwise use the style at
https://svn.toolserver.org/svnroot/mazder/planet-import/wikimedia.extended.…
?
Thanks,
Kai
