Bugreporter added a comment.
In Wikidata it is excepted that the description can be added after label (or usually title) in parentheses, e.g. machine translation (sub-field of computational linguistics). Wikidata description is also designed to disambiguate items with the same or similar labels, so that no two items have same label and same description (and labels should not include disambiguation information). This is not the case of Wikipedia as no two article have same title and disambiguation is handled by article name. for example Georgia (country), in this case the "country" served the disambiguation purpose, similar to Wikidata description. Note Wikidata description should also be understandable independently, so "mathematics" is not a good description for "Set (mathematics)".
