In our wiki discussions, I increasingly see people linking Wikidata items when wishing to explain a concept (as one would do on a Wiktionary or Wikipedia entry) without "[[d:Q169207|forcing]]" the multilingual audience to a specific target language.

Am I the only one seeing this trend? Do we all think it's a good thing? (Though a minor internal one.)

To be upfront, I ask because I face unexpected opposition to the adoption of this custom elsewhere: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89719
