The WKT standard is actually quite clear that order is longitude, latitude. See http://www.geoapi.org/snapshot/javadoc/org/opengis/referencing/doc-files/WKT.html#AXIS "If the optional AXIS terms are not present, then the default values are assumed: Geographic Coordinate System (GEOGCS) AXIS["Lon",EAST],AXIS["Lat",NORTH (λ, φ)" All known software, libraries, standards building on WKT properly use this order, including GeoSPARQL. I understand that this still causes confusion, as e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_6709 uses latitude, longitude. However, that is a different standard. I also understand that so far people have not complained, but that may be due to the fact that there is only limited use so far, or that people simply created their own workarounds without complaining. If Wikidata uses WKT, it should use it compliant with the standard.
