Identify Wikidata entries of a person

The named streets can be categorised by:

  • Example: Else Züblin-Spiller
• Named after a person without a Wikidata entry. Usually citizens of Zurich. eg.:
  • Laura-Hezner-Weg
• Named after a historical person, not 100% sure if they exist. eg.:
  • Flobotstrasse
  • Woloweg
  • Wibichstrasse
• Named after a certain person's occupation, because they were working at this street eg.:
  • Eisengasse
  • Drehergasse
  • Feilengasse
• Named after a goddess. eg.:
  • Freyastrasse
  • Florastrasse
  • Fortunagasse

equalstreetnames-winterthur's Issues

Rename `overpass/*` to `overpass/*.overpassql`

*.overpassql is now the recommended file extension for Overpass QL: OSM Wiki: Overpass QL § File extension
(Disclaimer: I added that section after some discussion.)

I propose to rename all Overpass QL files in this repo to *.overpassql for consistency.

Context: GitHub's syntax highlighting engine requires that 200 repositories use the same file extension before they consider supporting that syntax and file extension: github-linguist/linguist#5890
