It has already been said that the word "instead" is not appropriate here
right now.
On the long range, the practical success of two methods will decide by
itself.
Practically, if I click "item with ID Q1722
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1722>", the first impression is

then quite a dump of seemingly computer savvy data (OK with me but
frightening many).
I suppose that it should be formatted differently, but I'd like to see
how to have an opinion.
On the other hand, Wikipedia is fast and pretty and, as indeed I often
want to switch to Дубровник for more interesting data and a challenge to
understand I click ru in the left pane.
It took me some time to get to Wikipedia from Wikidata and I was
surprised to see there reference to Wikidata only in tools.
The last URL I used for OSM is  http://www.palogne.be  and I would like
to know how I can find the corresponding Wikidata ID to go alongside.

Cheers,

André.
