Description

At OpenStreetMap, the wikipedia tag is widely used but wikidata less so. A number of us OpenStreetMedians are pushing for wikidata to be used more and eventually supplant wikipedia, since its entity IDs are language-neutral and potentially more stable than Wikipedia article titles. For wikidata to be used more, it needs to be very easy to use in popular OSM editors, particularly iD.

https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/2680 is the general “support Wikidata” ticket for iD.
https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/pull/2732 is a pull request to add basic support that rides along with the existing Wikipedia support.

I’m working on this during the Wikimania 2015 hackathon.

iD’s maintainer was generous enough to complete and merge the PR I started. The Wikidata field will appear in the next iD release. Closing.
