I agree that Wikidata tags are much better, and to be preferred.
However, it is easier for a novice (in either OSM or Wikipedia terms)
to add a Wikipedia tag; another editor, or a bot, can then convert it
to a Wikidata tag.

I do strongly urge fellow editors to add Wikdiata atgs whenver
appraoraite, bit for objects, and for things like etymologies,
architects etc.
