Hello, next week I want to publish the next big step for the cooperation between OSM and Wikipedia: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WIWOSM
This project will add an vectorlayer to the OSM-map in Wikipedia. The content comes from OSM for objects with key=Wikipedia.
This is fantastic!
It would certainly provide a better slippy map view for Wikipedia articles than the current single-point geocoding system that Wikipedia uses.
I assume that this would replace the existing OpenLayers maps (with OSM as a basemap) found for example in the German Wikipedia?
