What

Adding wikidata=* tags to highway=* and place=square in Canton Basel-Stadt

Editing is restricted to the Boundaries of Canton Basel-Stadt.

Why

For the Equalstreetnames-Project adding name:etymology:wikidata=* or wikidata=* to highway=* will make it possible to visualize street names by gender on a map.

As there are already all Streets of the official Street name directory of Canton Basel-Stadt available from wikidata (query to get all Streets) the JOSM-Wikipedia-Plugin makes it very easy to link all Streets from wikidata with the corresponding object of OpenStreetMap.

To have the same representation of object's from OpenStreetMap and wikidata makes it also easier for

creating querys e.g. with https://sophox.org/ e.g. for
checking the offical Street name directory (OGD) against OpenStreetMap (and Wikidata)
statistically purposes
..

Numbers

The Street name directory lists 1'441 Streets in Basel-Stadt. A street consists of one or several Openstreetmap-geometries mostly depending on their length.
