OSM is open for all new tags. Once we admit wikidata references, what

Technically, we entered the slippery slope when we included wikipedia
links. But consider this: If you don't want tons of links to other
databases, then you should be happy about Wikidata. After all, they are
managing a collection of links to these databases already, so we don't
have to do it again. It could be the one external reference to rule them
all.
