Is there a button in #wikipedia to junp from language specific page to another lang wiki? E.g. Italian -> English or Finnish. Or is it the only way to go to .fi or .org wikipedia and search again?

Why am I on Italian wiki? I open nearby objects from #osmand, and it goes to local #wikipedia. Which I understand none of...

@ikkeT On #wikidata you can select the language of the wikipedia article at the bottom. In OsmAnd the wikidata tag is also clickable, try that!

@ikkeT I mean there is a wikidata button in osmand, just scroll a bit more down. It may be missing from some elements.

Also the #wikivoyage addon is primarily in English, try it, its intended for travellers

@ikkeT objects in OpenStreetMap which have Wikipedia tag, often put the local-to-the-object Wikipedia page and not the English one.

It's true that applications which utilise this tag, like OsmAnd, should preferably show the local-to-the-user wiki or the English one, but that's exactly the application's side to implement and properly figure that out. Not all objects have an English Wikipedia page.

@PTM excellent, exactly what I was looking for, thanks.

@ikkeT Yes. On mobile it's the button in the toolbar under the article title all the way to the left, in desktop it's to the right of the title.
