we do have wikidata subtags which will not always be used only for terminal
instantiations
We also have wikidata refs for tags in the wiki.

to give a practical example:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3734793
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1368377

How should these be linked to OSM?
These are moving targets, they change nature every now and then
(administrative entity, or not, etc.).
The basic assumption that crosslinked wikipedia articles are about the same
thing, already breaks, because different ("groups of") articles are
structured differently, what has one article in one language may have
several in another language.

I am also against restricting wikidata tags to a 1:1 relationship. It would
require restructuring of specific items either in osm or in wikidata, or
both, just to have them linked nicely (at a certain point in time, because
from then on, they will diverge again, inevitably).
