Speaking as an OSM novice but an experienced Wikimedian, having Wikidata ID tags makes sense to me. This sounds like something that could benefit Wikidata, Wikipedia, and other projects that recognize Wikidata IDs. There might be no need to have multiple external ID tags in OSM if the Wikidata tag

I think you misunderstood my purpose. I was not contacting OSM to complain about illegal signs. I was responding to the original poster and urging caution about relying on signs. At least in my jurisdiction, official databases seem to me to be more reliable than signage regarding property rights.
