Wikidata tag prevents editing empty name or operator field

[boothym]

I understand why having a wikidata tag disallows editing of the name or operator field, as you don't want people to mistakenly change the name or operator.

However, if you come across a named object with a wikidata tag and you want to add an operator (and vice-versa with the name field if it already has an operator) - the field is locked despite being empty. This should be fixed so that all empty field are editable, without having to go down to the all tags section.

This would result in if someone inputs an operator/name, they can't change it.

Suppose it would, but then the same happens if you add a wikidata tag to a named object and you then try and change the name.

Wonder if iD is able to keep the fact that the name/operator tag was empty to begin with, in its memory, so it doesn't lock the field for the duration of your session?

I wonder: Those examples you have in mind, should they maybe be added to NSI. That would solve the described issue of having no operator by adding it in the first place or suggesting to add it in the UI.

The example I came across today wasn't a brand or something that could be added to NSI though (otherwise I would).
