Use for consistent linking to OpenStreetMap, particularly for grouped relationship illustrated a route, or place.

Getting data id from OSM

OSM data consists of nodes (points), ways (lines) and relations (group of points or ways). Each of these data types have a unique id which can be used to reference the particular data. You can find the id of the data you are looking for by either using nominatim or the OSM data explorer.

Using nominatim

  1. Goto http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/
  2. Search
  3. From the search results on the left, click the details link

Using OSM data explorer

  1. Goto http://osm.org
  2. Browse and zoom to the area which has the data
  3. Expand the map options tab ( blue '+' on the top right of the map and click on 'data')
  4. A list of objects in the map area should load on the right, select any feature from the map or list and click the detals link to get the id

Usage

Use Output
{{OSM|relation=164711}} 164711
{{OSM|n|746952719}} 746952719 OSM/doc on OpenStreetMap
{{OSM|r|1247233}} 1247233 (xjah) OSM/doc on OpenStreetMap

Specify the object type and id in the template. n=node, w=way, r=relationship
