[Tagging] Deprecating wikipedia Tag

[Andreas Goss]

I think for most people, especially the more casual ones using ID, it 
will be easier to map wikipedia tags so I think we should keep it. Long 
term it would probably be great to have a automated system that just 
pulls the Wikidata ID when you put in a wikipedia, but I don't think 
that will happen soon.
