Please pause your edits of such kind at all!

If a part of the OSM community thinks that an edit of type X is good but
another part of the community opposes, there is not enough consent on
the topic. The question if we shold have wikidata=* tags in OSM and
which objects should have them, is an international questions. As long
as international discussions are going on, everyone has to wait.

Best regards
