I also see this critical, if I understood correctly what it means, as the relationship between Wikipedia articles and wikidata items is not 1:1. Yes, the initial wikidata set has been created from Wikipedia articles, but looking at a topic very important to osm, places and administrative entities, you'll find that Wikipedia articles often cover both, a place and the administrative entity for/of this place, but wikidata objects often do not cover both. Adding a wp link to a place object (typically node) in osm can be correct while at the same time adding the wikidata object that corresponds to the wp article would not be (because it refers to the administrative entity)

cheers,
