I agree with Oleksiy.
If you see Qxxx numbers in your editor ONLY it is the editor that should
be fixed to fetch the label/description in the local language (of the
browser, JOSM, or whatever tool you access our data through).
I believe that we should deprecate all wikipedia links as they are just
potentially obsolete cruft that can be inferred from the wikidata item.
(I am also an editor of Wikidata)
If you really want the Wikipedia link displayed fix your editor to fetch
the local wikipedia link (if any) for your local language in addition to
the label and description.

At least in the JOSM editor there is an additional text in English
near the wikidata code-title.
Since the wikidata title (or name) is usually translated on the
wikidata page itself in different languages and it is a part of the
accessible database, this text could be in different languages in a
map editor.
If there is no translation of the wikidata item in a particular
language, one can add it, even if there is no Wikipedia article in
this language. The wikidata also contains the description and the
alternative name.
So basically having the wikidata code-name, it is possible to display
the name and even the description in any language of choice in a map
editor.
So wikidata makes makes it technically possible to implement the
modern principle stating that the true international language is the
translation.
Best regards,
Oleksiy

Yes, wikidata tag may be useful but it is an alphanumeric gibberish
