Description

If a feature is tagged with wikipedia, the inspector will show a multimedia excerpt of the Wikipedia article. It should do the same if the feature is only tagged with wikidata but not wikipedia. For example, this relation is tagged wikidata=Q3275007; since Q3275007 on Wikidata links to the article “Lunken Airport” on the English Wikipedia, the inspector should show an excerpt from that article, including the following image:

To determine the Wikipedia article associated with a Wikidata QID, we could use the Wikidata API or Hub.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to use the Wikidata API or Hub to retrieve the Wikipedia article title from a Wikidata QID. Then modify the inspector to display the Wikipedia excerpt when only a `wikidata` tag is present, similar to the existing `wikipedia` tag behavior.
