This all conversation confort my (un-educated, I confess) idea of the
uselessness of cross referencing the Wikipedia ecosystem with OSM with
OSM tags.
Automated addition of wikidata id to OSM objects seems worthy, so why
not doing it on the fly instead of writing it to the database? Next
year maybe?
Also, I always wondered what it supposed to happen when an OSM
contributor who like me does not give a damn of an external ID when
he/she edits an OSM element?

Sometimes a Wikipedia article does not have coordinates. For example the
article about the STMicroelectronics SA
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STMicroelectronics> as it is a big
company with many locations. However, we can add to its headquarters
building a clickable Wikidata tag and an image tag:

There other similar case, - no wikipedia article, no wikidata page, but
there is a Wikimedia commons category; for example La Givrine train station:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/249463533
Unfortunately, wikimedia_commons is not yet clickable on the OSM map.
Here is a clickable link to this category:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:La_Givrine_train_station
If you are to travel to/from this train station in mountains, you can
learn a lot of practical useful information from the Wikimedia category
images: that there is a heated waiting hall at the station, a ticketing
machine, etc.
