Yes, but the wikidata ID does not help in this case. McDonald's Corp. is not the same as McDonald's Deutschland Inc., you can find information about this in the German page, but not in other languages. As long as wikidata only links to articles and doesn't provide context on its own, it won't help or change anything besides of making it more complicated and error prone for mappers to look up a code instead of a human readable text. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
