[OSM-talk] Tool for users to add wikidata tags

[Yves]

Reading the discussion, I can't help but feel greatful for Edward's effort to ensure good quality. Have a read again on his first post: a lot have already been thought already. Don't give the impression you blame the tool! 
Just a feeling, I'm not fond of external IDs in OSM myself.
