This is a small subset of wikidata that may be added, in many cases (like
missing location
on Wikipedia) it is necessary to add this tag manually after verification.

Note, I have no opinion whatever adding wikidata=* is a good idea.

Is it a copyright problem to compare data from Wikidata and OSM to generate
list of problematic situations?
Is it OK to import names from Wikidata (usually name:foo are missing in
OSM)?
