What do you suggest? I think these tags are essential because the wikidata tag should be used very carefully. People are probably going to start tagging McDonalds restaurants with wikidata=Q38076 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q38076>. That is (maybe not so obviously) wrong because that little restaurant isn't a multinational company. It's a restaurant that uses their franchise. That's why there should be several predefined tags so we don't end up with lots of bad data. operator:wikidata is better IMHO because you can also have operator:source, operator:webpage, and it makes more sense to do it in that order.
