[talk-au] Wikidata IDs in OSM

[Marc Gemis]

I guess you are aware that one of the recent updates of iD adds the
wikidata code when you add the wikipedia page ?
The feature is described in https://www.mapbox.com/blog/id-wikidata/
This makes it rather easy to add both tag.
It will also search for the wikipedia page when you start typing the
wikipedia page name
