Disclosure: Edits from this account are mechanical edits (Mechanical Edits) made under the Automated Edits code of conduct.

Purpose

Many Japanese POIs in OSM already carry wikidata=Q… tags but lack a Chinese name. Wikidata, however, holds high-quality zh labels and zhwiki sitelinks for the same entities. This bot bridges that gap by copying the canonical Chinese name from Wikidata into OSM's name:zh tag — a strict additive operation that never overwrites existing data.

Source

For each candidate POI:

  1. Read OSM object's wikidata=Q… tag.
  2. Query Wikidata Action API: wbgetentities&ids=Q…&props=labels|sitelinks&languages=zh|zh-cn|zh-hans|zh-hant.
  3. Use the zh label as the value, provided it matches the zhwiki sitelink title (double-source agreement gate).
  4. If they disagree, skip the candidate.

Filter rules

A candidate is added to the queue only if all of the following hold:

  • OSM object has a non-empty name.
  • OSM object has a wikidata=Q… tag.
  • Wikidata entity has both a zh label and a zhwiki sitelink, and they agree.
  • OSM object has **no** name:zh, name:zh-Hans, name:zh-Hant, or name:zh-yue tag.
  • OSM object is geographically inside Japan (ISO 3166-1: JP).
