Re: [Tagging] wikidata <> other ref

The use case with Wikidata for me is an app/website based on OSM that wants to link to other sources for more information. The main example is the historic place (http://gk.historic.place) website. They display all historic items. In order to make it easy on the user of that website to learn more

What I take away from the discussion is that wikidata tags are somehow evil and that who insists on mapping them, should make sure to encapsulate way features in relations (associatedStreet, river, site, etc). I'll refrain from creating proposal pages on the wiki for part_of:wikidata. To me it
