[Tagging] "part:wikidata=*" tag proposal for multiple elements connected to the same wikidata id

Settlements such as place=city are mapped as nodes, not areas, because
the centre of the settlement called "Monaco" is different than the
administrative boundary of the city-state of the same name. The island
of Singapore is mapped as a different feature than the Country
boundary=administrative, and the city itself is mapped with a node in
the centre of "downtown".

Wikidata does not always match the way things are in Openstreetmap - I
believe we do a better job of mapping reality, which means that
sometimes there are multiple features in OSM for something that
appears once in Wikidata.
