Allow editing of a facet value (Brand, Ingredient, Cities…) to associate it to Wikidata

[CloCkWeRX]

What

• An example brand: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/brand/woolworths/

  • Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woolworths_Group_(Australia)
  • Wikidata entry (though its more about the company than their internal brand): https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q607272

• In some editing tools for other platforms, such as OpenStreetMap; you can add the required attributes by simply using a suggested name:
  

• On selecting this; it populates the relevant relationship:
  

• This is done via some queries of the dataset and populating records via the "name suggestion index" - https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/tree/master/brands

• Additionally, the editor performs search queries in some cases to the wikidata endpoints:
  

GET https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&format=json&namespace=0&origin=*&search=Woolworths&suggest=

which is then followed by

https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&format=json&formatversion=2&languages=en&origin=*&sites=enwiki&titles=Woolworths%20Group%20(Australia)

which returns wikidata ids.

Their implementation is viewable at:
https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/blob/fceb1a86f78deaa0853d454a5fe27d08e9f54da0/modules/services/wikidata.js
for how exactly they handle the API results; etc.

I'd like to see:

• Backend modelling for a Brand to wikidata id if it doesn't already exist
• A basic CRUD UI for a brand, with an autocomplete to lookup wikipedia articles, retrieve the wikidata ID
