Wikidata already has the GVP property:

So it's just a matter of ensuring that all volcanoes tracked by the
GVP is present in Wikidata and has the correct P1886 value.
To a regular human being rather than a wikipedian, that might as well
have been written in Klingon. :)
I suspect that trying to rely on wikidata/wikipedia for this link will
fail for a different reason though - the things that we tag in OSM won't
necessarily map 1 to 1 onto wikipedia pages. Sometimes an OSMer will
want to indicate that a wider area than is indicated in
GVP/wikipedia/wikidata, but much more often an OSMer will be tagging an
individual volcano that might not match where a historical eruption took
place (think Thera / Santorini, where a famous eruption left a big hole,
now surrounded by numerous modern features).
It does make sense to use (and document) GVP's "active" definition in
OSM, but there will be places in OSM where it's not a good fit, because
what was there that erupted earlier in the last few thousand years isn't
there now.
