I think that's a great idea. Having wikipedia articles linked is very
useful, in particular on mobile when touring around. And I think
wikidata has the potential to become very important in the future too.

Do we add the equals sign after wikipedia, or do we use wikipedia:en?

I don't understand that map very well. Is there a legend? Is there a
way to see what has been done already? Especially the latter is very
important.

How do we tag things that only appear on a list, such as 'Grade I
listed buildings in the West Midlands'?

Like I said, I think it's a great idea. I added tags for a couple of
buildings in the city centre already, and plan to help adding some
more.
