</div>No, Because it duplicates existing tags. </blockquote><div><br></div><div>Does not. Provides a single link to all information instead. </div><div><br></div><div>Think of this scenario. In Italy, Unicredit Banca is a brand of Unicredito Italiano S.p.A.. Suppose that the brand is sold to another bank company: the brand wikidata node would still be valid, and internally to Wikidata it would link to the new owner. With regular tags you'd have to go and change all of the occurrences. </div>

You don't use two tags at the same time for a single piece of information. At most, you use a second fallback one _in case the first is not available_. </div>

It's the only problem I see with the proposal. It is the same problem that wikipedia=* has. <br>
