Who

I, Mateusz Konieczny using my bot account

contact

message via OSM I will respond also to PMs to the bot account.

What

Adding wikipedia=* and wikidata=* tags to elements with old style wikipedia tags like wikipedia:en=article_name or wikipedia:pl=article_name.

Editing is restricted to Poland.

Why

wikipedia=* are used by editing programs, editors and data consumers and considered as preferable to old-style wikipedia keys.

Adding wikipedia=* and wikidata=* where old-style Wikipedia tags are present is highly tedious and bot making this kind of edit is less likely to make mistakes than a human.

Numbers

Depends on how many new old-style tags appear - depends on editing activity in OSM. Such occurrences are extremely rare.

How

  • Editing is limited to objects with old-style Wikipedia tags without wikipedia=* or wikidata=* tag.
  • Links detected as invalid (leading to disambigs, articles about humans, animals, plants, events etc) are skipped
  • Each changeset contains a single region
  • After every changeset bot sleeps for one minute

A theoretical example:
state before a mechanical edit:

state after a mechanical edit:


Changeset would be described and tagged with tags that mark it as automatic, provide link to discussion approving edit, link repository with source code etc


Discussion

Approved by Polish OSM community at https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=59665

Repetition

This is reoccurring edit and may be made as soon as new matching elements appear. At this moment triggering new edit requires human intervention so exact schedule is not predictable and bot may stop running at any moment.

This can change in a future. If bot is abandoned and does not run, feel free to ping me. If I am unable to run it any more feel free to use my code. Note that it may require going through bot approval process again and that code is on specific license.
