## Downloading additional data
-### Wikipedia rankings
+### Wikipedia/Wikidata rankings
Wikipedia can be used as an optional auxiliary data source to help indicate
the importance of OSM features. Nominatim will work without this information
This data is available as a binary download:
cd $NOMINATIM_SOURCE_DIR/data
- wget https://www.nominatim.org/data/wikipedia_article.sql.bin
- wget https://www.nominatim.org/data/wikipedia_redirect.sql.bin
+ wget https://www.nominatim.org/data/wikimedia_importance.sql.gz
-Combined the 2 files are around 1.5GB and add around 30GB to the install
+The file is about 1GB and it adds around 10GB to the install
size of Nominatim. They also increase the install time by an hour or so.
-*NOTE:* you'll need to download the Wikipedia rankings before performing
-the initial import of the data if you want the rankings applied to the
-loaded data.
+*NOTE:* if you forgot to download the wikipedia rankings, you can also add
+them after the import by running `./utils/setup.php --import-wikipedia-articles`
+and then `./utils/update.php --recompute-importance`.
### Great Britain, USA postcodes
SQL statements should be executed from the PostgreSQL commandline. Execute
`psql nominatim` to enter command line mode.
+## 3.4.0 -> master
+
+### New Wikipedia/Wikidata importance tables
+
+The `wikipedia_*` tables have a new format that also includes references to
+Wikidata. You need to update the computation functions and the tables as
+follows:
+
+ * download the new Wikipedia tables as described in the import section
+ * reimport the tables: `./utils/setup.php --import-wikipedia-articles`
+ * update the functions: `./utils/setup.php --create-functions --enable-diff-updates`
+ * compute importance: `./utils/update.php --recompute-importance`
+
+The last step takes about 10 hours on the full planet.
