Related tagging

wikidata=* can also be used in addition. Note that data consumers can get a linked Wikipedia article from the Wikidata page or linked Wikidata item from a linked Wikipedia article.

wikidata=* are more likely to be stable, wikipedia=* are human-readable without special support and fetching descriptions from Wikidata database.

Editors and data consumers may need to special-case this key and other subkeys of name=* that do not represent localized versions of the name=* key. [1]
