The "Culture - Media/Wikidata" category in the "OpenStreetMap Quality Control" section now checks for references for subject, artist, architect and name etymology (when appropriate).

For my personal blog, I wrote an article some time ago, where I explained how to map memorials and artwork with references to wikidata and wikimedia commons.

Recently, additional translations have been added to OpenStreetBrowser: Tamil (in Jan 2025), Thai (in Feb 2025) and Indonesian and Swedish (in Jul 2025). Thanks a lot for the contributions! If you want to improve or add translations, head over to Weblate. Here's a statistics of all current translations including a (hopefully) complete list of all contributors.

OpenStreetBrowser now utilizes the Fullscreen API, allowing it to take advantage of the entire screen when activated. If you prefer not to use this feature, you can switch to "window mode" in the Options. Additionally, in fullscreen mode, the controls will automatically hide after a few seconds of inactivity, enabling you to enjoy an uninterrupted view of the map - perfect for capturing screenshots!
