<p>I agree with Oleksiy.</p>
<p>If you see Qxxx numbers in your editor ONLY it is the editor that
should be fixed to fetch the label/description in the local
language (of the browser, JOSM, or whatever tool you access our
data through).</p>
<p>I believe that we should deprecate all wikipedia links as they
are just potentially obsolete cruft that can be inferred from the
wikidata item. (I am also an editor of Wikidata)</p>
<p>If you really want the Wikipedia link displayed fix your editor
to fetch the local wikipedia link (if any) for your local language
in addition to the label and description.</p>
