In addition to, not instead of. operator:wikidata=* is computable. Martin wrote: >What is the relation between wikidata and wikipedia?

Wikidata is a source of structured information that will be used by Wikipedia etc, instead of just storing that information as unstructured text. If anything, the duplication would be to continue to have a Wikipedia tag. Wikipedia article names change, but presumably the Wikidata identifiers are stable, so you can always look up the current Wikipedia article name from it. But, really you can have both. Stable, widely used identifiers are great things to store, so if Wikidata will fill that role, we should link to it.
