Can someone provide the correct way to tag a wikipedia link? It seems the Wiki wants it one way and JOSM another. The wiki wants version 1) but JOSM reports an error when coded that way. WTF?

I want to use a tag written in English that describes a certain tree
Is this correct?


or this?

2) wikipedia:en=wikipedia.org/wiki/teak

In general, smart programs make clickable links of any URL in any text field they display.
But, to be recognized as such, an URL must start (as always) with http://...
So, you may have something like source=http://wikipedia.org/... 2015; http://anything.else... 2010
OSM.org will make two links (1).

The wikipedia=* tag is special in that it need no http://... to make a link: the renderer will compose the URL.
But, to have it compose correctly, =* must have the prescribed contents.
Just "en:Teak" etc. as explained in Martin Koppenhoefer's excellent reply.

André.

(1) But waymarkedtrails.org did not understand this. Would someone explain better than I?
