There are other web-applications to find Wikipedia articles geolocations on other maps, but I wanted a clean interface, with the OSM map on the whole screen.
Okay, I’ve uploaded my script to the GitHub: https://github.com/Zverik/wiki2osm
It produces an OSM XML file from a wikipedia article dump, but you can then convert it to any format.
This is GREAT; just what I’ve been looking for. I like to jump around the globe, adding roads and residential areas. I’ve recently been mapping in Tibet and feel really lost culturally. Your map is giving me some hits and insight into a very remote area. Thanks for posting.
k1wi, it is a good idea. Thank you. I’ve implemented already the display of Wikipedia articles geolocations by the wikipedia and wikimedia_commons tag assigned to a node in the same web-application.
It is a bit more complicated to display a geolocation when the wikipedia tag is assigned to an area or a way. It will try to implement it later.

That’s very cool. Did you parse the full Wikipedia dump yourself or is there a dump of just coordinates and article IDs/titles?

This application uses the Wikipedia API. Actually it is just about 20 lines of code.
I use it to plan expeditions to make [ground and aerial photos] (https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListFiles/Alexey_M.&ilshowall=1) for Wikipedia articles.

Nice! Some similar efforts: * https://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osm-gadget-leaflet/#/?lang=en&article=Berlin * The Wikipedia Android app has a map (“nearby”) feature * More at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps/Future_Plans#Existing_Tools

Is there a similar service based on the OSM tags wikipedia=* or wikidata=*, instead of Wikipedia coordinates?

Search for geolocations of wikipedia, wikimedia_commons, wikidata OSM tags assigned either to nodes, areas, or ways is implemented.
