More like "stop any Wikidata-related large-scale editing or setting up
of tools that have the intent of causing Wikidata-related large-scale
editing".

It's totally ok for individuals to add Wikidata links to things they are
mapping anyway, it's just not ok for people from 1000 miles away to
fiddle with Wikidata tags, ESPECIALLY if these people lack OSM experience.

If you're new to OSM then a good choice of task is to do some mapping in
your local area, not to shower the whole planet with "helpful" Wikidata
edits.

Bye
Frederik
