should use a secondary wikipedia tag - linking from wikipedia tag to an animal or plant (and not an individual one)
linked wikidata entry (Q8332)(Rotfuchs article) is about an animal or plant (and not an individual one), so it is very unlikely to be correct
subject:wikipedia=* or taxon: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

blacklisted connection with known replacement

wikipedia wikidata mismatch - wikipedia points to disambiguation page and wikidata does not
wikidata and wikipedia tags link to a different objects, because wikidata tag points to a redirect that should be followed
article claims to point to disambig, wikidata does not. wikidata tag is likely to be correct, wikipedia tag almost certainly is not
Nateln - an affected OSM element that may be improved
de:Nateln -> de:Nateln (Welver)
