Comparison with other tags
brand:wikidata
=*
is a related tag in the sense that it too adds a common machine readable identifier; it provides a code that is more likely to be stable in the long term but it has the drawback of not being human readable and not providing information on the brand directly. There may be special support to display
brand:wikidata
=*
tag in more readable form, but it requires access to the Wikidata database to get data (e.g., via
for
brand
Giant
).
There is also
wikipedia
=*
, which can be used to provide a link to Wikipedia's article about the
specific
feature. This however, should only be used in cases where the Wikipedia article is specifically about the mapped feature. For example adding
wikipedia
en:Tree
is never correct as it is not an article about any specific tree, whereas
wikipedia
en:Gilwell Oak
is correct for the one oak known as
Gilwell Oak
In the same way adding
wikipedia
en:Walmart
to a Walmart supermarket is not correct, because it is not an article about a specific supermarket. In cases where you want to add a link to the Wikipedia page for a Walmart branch, using
brand:wikipedia
en:Walmart
is correct.
See
Key:wikipedia#Secondary_Wikipedia_links
for more info.
Tag introduction and decline
From about a 3-year period from 2018-2021,
brand:wikipedia
=*
was automatically added by iD via the
Name Suggestion Index
to POIs added by mappers, after which this behavior was discontinued. During this timeframe, 1.3 million
brand:wikipedia
=*
objects were added globally. Since this behavior was removed,
brand:wikipedia
=*
has been on a slow decline, as shown in
taginfo
. In 2024, this tag was
proposed for removal
in the United States.
