Streetcomplete can filter the map with a variety of filters for features you can edit or complete(Street lighting, Surfaces, Sidewalks, Bike paths, Street parking, Addresses, Places, Things, Buildings). Plus there's some specific "quests" where you can complete information for specific POI ("Does this bench have a backrest? Yes|No", "Where does this fire hydrant lies? On the grass | On the roadway | On a walkway | On a parking).
Mapcomplete also offers filling info about existing POI, but you can filter on specific theme (Drinking water, sports) or very specific theme (etymology) or even your own. There's also an UI to add new POIs; I don't think it's possible with StreetComplete.
Either way both are great.

- schoen 3mo agoWhat does the etymology theme do? Allow you to add the etymologies of place names?
- pietervdvn 3mo agohttps://mapcomplete.org/etymology https://mapcomplete.org/etymology links objects (mostly streets, but also parks, schools, ...) to the Wikidata enitity of of what that street was _named_ after. If the link is already there, it shows the relevant Wikipedia page. E.g. the 'Willow Street' would show the Wikipedia page on willows. As a downstream effect: those links are also used in https://equalstreetnames.org/ https://equalstreetnames.org/ to make gendered maps.
