This is a great idea 💡, regarding the Wikidata Terms of Use text it could also simply be added, right? Or would the legal division of the Wikimedia Foundation be consulted first?

I'm working with Legal. It's important that users do not manually try to achieve this by editing the MediaWiki namespace messages, as the message needs to be available in all languages to all users via the normal message translation system.
