St. Michael - an affected OSM element that may be improved

should use a secondary wikipedia tag - linking from wikipedia and wikidata tag to a word or phrase
linked wikidata entry (Q1687984)(Mittagberg article) is about a word or phrase, so it is very unlikely to be correct
subject:wikipedia=* tag would be probably better (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikipedia#Secondary_Wikipedia_links for full list of what else may be applicable)
in case of change remember to add such prefix (or remove) wikidata tag if it is present
object categorised by Wikidata - wrong classification may be caused by wrong data on Wikidata
