Ölbach - an affected OSM element that may be improved



Sürthtal - an affected OSM element that may be improved


overpass query usable in JOSM that will load all objects where this specific error is present:
[out:xml][timeout:3600]; ( relation(10985766)['wikipedia'='de:Ölbach (Wiembach)']; way(949060309)['wikipedia'='de:Naturschutzgebiet Sürthtal (Kürten)']; ); (._;>;); out meta qt;//['wikipedia tag links to 404']



should use a secondary wikipedia tag - linking from wikidata tag to an animal or plant (and not an individual one)


linked wikidata entry (Q1721545)(Peter Broich article) is about an animal or plant (and not an individual one), 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
