[OSM-talk] Adding wikidata tags to the remaining objects with only wikipedia tag

  Totally agree. If some script can automatically add new tag
(wikidata) without any actual WORK needed, then it is pointless,
anybody can run an auto-update script.

  When ordinary (non geek) mappers do ACTUAL WORK - add wikipedia
data, they add wikipedia link, not wikidata "stuff".

  When data consumers want to get a link to corresponding wikipedia
article, doing that with wikipedia[:xx] tags is straightforward. Doing
the same with wikidata requires additional pointless and time
consuming abrakadabra.

  Validation of wikipedia tag values can and IS already done using osm
data versus wikipedia-geolocated data extracts/dumps.
