Autofill "operator:wikidata" using the Operator field #5484
Comments
The Operator field’s suggestions currently come from taginfo based on existing tag usage. The Wikipedia field suggests article titles from Wikipedia, which makes it straightforward to autofill a Wikidata QID in that case. To autofill |

@Nakaner - This is simply not true, and I'd appreciate it if you stop spreading such a nonsense view on what "Automated Edits" means. iD already will add wikidata tags automatically in some cases, and we will continue to automatically set tags for users where it makes sense. This is no different than other kinds of automatic tag assignment that all editor software must do sometimes. |
@Nakaner What is your definition of "automated edit"? Because one appearing at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_edits
would apply only in case where adding operator:wikidata would happen without oversight of a human (and selecting whatever specific Wikipedia article matches counts as an oversight). Whatever adding operator:wikidata is useful/desirable enough to implement a special interface is a separate issue. |
I doubt that Wikidata has good enough coverage for this to work, and people might think that their operator value they entered is not valid if it didn't show up in the autofill dropdown, so I'll close this issue for now |

Currently, when typing in an operator for an object in iD, all I can enter is plain text. Could a wikidata search be used to find the operator that the contributor is looking for and suggest it to them?
For example, in the image below, I am editing a bus stop and trying to add the operator. Instead of just including the text "Chapel Hill Transit", iD could autofill a tag, "operator:wikidata"="Q5073024".
I think that something like this could be very useful if implemented.
Also, for anyone super interested in the image, it is of this location.
