Creating iNaturalist places and linking to Wikidata using geojson

Thanks

I tested create 2 redirects for “Granudden” places/152114 / json

  1. using the SLUG
    1. garnuddens-naturreservat --> no success
  2. using the name
    1. Garnuddens_naturreservat --> no success

if I follow the link for " There is no Wikipedia page matching Garnuddens naturreservat Would you like to start one ?"

it works… and the correct page is displayed…

Best implementation is to ask Wikidata for the language version of the article… either by using the placeid and hope that Wikidata is updated with it or using the Wikidata Qnumber

  1. you can also use the syntax Special:GoToLinkedPage
    1. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:GoToLinkedPage/enwiki/Q18290091 --> enwiki
    2. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:GoToLinkedPage/svwiki/Q18290091 --> svwiki

that is the reason I think iNaturalist should have the Wikidata Qnumber stored for places

If we check number of languages that has at least one wiki article
