Feature Request
OSM node, e.g., is not implemented. Does anyone know the reason behind this? This would allow us to link to things like: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1766486405 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snodnipper (talk • contribs) 14:52, 24 September 2016 (UTC)


 * OSM node IDs are not stable. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:58, 24 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks Andy. Is this documented anywhere?  Whilst I accept that a single OSM node can be easily deleted, so too can a way or relation.  Furthermore, I don't actually see this as being any different to any external URL, which of course can and do change.  --Snodnipper (talk) 15:00, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Please could we create a corresponding template for nodes. For example:


 * <-- works
 * <-- works
 * <-- DOES NOT WORK

Please use up-to-date HTTPS URLs for OSM relation links
The purpose of this edit is to reduce the number of HTTP redirects and to provide increased privacy and security for users by using up-to-date HTTPS URLs for OSM relation links. In the template, please change each instance of  (there are two instances) to   instead. Thanks. --Elegie (talk) 07:00, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Feature Request get Relation ID from WikiData
I'd like to get the OSM relation ID from Wikidata. The P402 property is used 45,000 times in Wikidata. If the data already exists, I am of the opinion that there should be an easy template to get at it.

A way to implement this might be to have empty first (1) parameter could cause the template to check P402 on wikidata through m:Help:Template.

The new template syntax could be:

Currently, there are almost 1,000 uses of this template,, but this template is only used on English Wikipedia.

My question is: Should this template be modified to be able to us P402 from Wikidata?

Sorry, if I am over linking, but template programming is new to me. Thank you! -- MicahDCochran (talk) 17:40, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
