I also thought like this, but not so rarely I have noticed people are not
only adding this link as the first word, they are also replacing the
following definition by the first paragraph of the English wikipedia
article with the same name.

As some people have now started to create wikidata objects for OSM tags, I
am sort of worried that part of our authority on the meaning of tags might
be slowly externalized: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q29637965

Cheers,
Martin
