It is useful as it avoids incorrect wikipedia tags that are supposed to link 
article specifically
about a given feature.

There are some uses of that - for example Nominatim using it as importance hint,
I have a tool detecting tourism attractions, and there are probablt many more 
uses that  
I am unaware of.

I you consider adding this link as valuable please use a proper tag (AKA not 
wikipedia) - otherwise
someone sooner or later will remove such incorrect uses (and it is not certain 
that she/he will
bother with inventing new key).
