Not to mention if someone wants to add a name for a new item/object, does the user need to create a wikidata item on top of it? Will the editor do it automatically? How does it pick the right one? Does it offer a list to the user? This is going to make osm a massive turn off to new contributors on the steep learning curve(which is already pretty high) to contributing to osm.
This whole idea is really terrible and could just be offered as a post-processed data set: wikidata? use that instead of name tag.
