I got the impression part:wikidata (or is it wikidata:part?) was for
situations where two OSM
objects matched one wikidata item (better handled as a multipolygon and
adding the wikidata
to the multipolygon itself) or two wikidata items match a single OSM object
(better handled by
decomposing the OSM object into a multipolygon and adding wikidata to the
outers). Now you
propose using this for fuzzy matching: it's sorta this wikidata item but
not really. I think in situations
like that we should remove all associations to wikidata - otherwise it's
square peg/round hole.
