This would add the Wikidata ID Q3038 to both OSM objects place=island and boundary=administrative of Heligoland because both objects in OSM could link to the same Wikipedia article. That would be wrong because the ID of the island is Q17043877. Wikidata needs much consolidation. For example there existed only one object for Heligoland in Wikidata before i fixed it. The object in WD before described the island AND the municipality which is nonsense because the objects have a different area and so on. That's why I wrote it as one example on the Wiki-Page thus the mappers don't type in wrong Wikidata ID's. In Wikidata at the moment there is a big consolidation ongoing because there are also many duplicate objects. (Wikidata-objects were generated from Wikipedia-articles. When the Wikipedia articles of different language versions were not linked with Interwikilinks then there were created duplicate objects in Wikidata). In Germany we added the Wikidata-ID's to all administrative boundaries from AL 4-8: http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=24168&p=1 Here is a map with an overview where the wikidata-Tag is used: http://www.netzwolf.info/kartografie/karten/wikidata
