Hey Tim,
can you point us to a tutorial or manual on how to add these tags to
OSM?
I am not sure if there is a tutorial specifically for this, but the
information for the Wikipedia key can be found at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Wikipedia
There are also a couple of general purpose Tutorials about editing data
in wikipedia that might be helpful.
Although perhaps if there is a page about WIWOSM or on the help page of
the OSM gadget or wikiMiniAtlas, it would be a good place to add some
links and a short description of how to add wikipedia tags to OSM.
I tried unsuccessfully to add the tags to a US county. With the
editors I have (potlatch2, merkaartor) I con only
download a tiny
portion of the map. I can select part of (what I think is) a county
line (but it has no keys indicating that it is a county line, odd!).
Is it sufficient to add the Wikipedia tag to such a part of a county
line? Does that tag a closed polygon, or just the small line segment?
Sorry, I'm not exactly an OSM editing pro, but willing to learn to
help with the tagging effort.
As counties and cities are relatively large, chances are that they are
mapped as "relations", i.e. a group of ways that constitute the boundary
of the county or city (
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:boundary ). You would want
to add the Wikipedia tag to the relations rather than to any individual
way (unless the boundary only consists of a single way).
In Potlatch you can do this in the following way:
You go to the map that contains a part of the boundary of the
country/state/county/city you want to add the tag. Then in Potlatch, you
click on the way that is part of the boundary to select it. At the
bottom of the left hand panel, click on the "Advanced" tab to get to the
full tagging details. At the bottom of that, you will see the relations
the way belongs to, which should hopefully include a "Boundary
administrative" relation. Double clicking on this should open a little
overlay with the details of the relation. Again click on advanced tab to
see the full set of tags associated with the relation. There you can now
add the wikipedia tag.

P.S. WIWOSM looks really neat. So thanks for adding this feature.

No, and there is no easy way to do that (cross
site scripting! and I'd
have to issue an extra request for every page that is visited). The
simplest way would be adding a template to the article (either a
regular coord template, or a not yet designed OSM template).
