On quick investigation, this seems to be handled by 
[app/helpers/browse_tags_helper.rb](https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/master/app/helpers/browse_tags_helper.rb).
 The method `wikidata_links` is aware of semicolons 
([code](https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/8bd509b7caba7b1b17ee508ae7e049938bf398ba/app/helpers/browse_tags_helper.rb#L119)),
 but `wikipedia_links` is not.

Are these tags (`subject:wikipedia` and generally `*:wikipedia`) expected to 
allow multiple values?
- In favour:
        - It would make sense as this instance is trying to link to exactly the 
same subjects as the Wikidata links, just in their Wikipedia forms.
- Against:
        - As per 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikipedia#Secondary_languages: "In 
almost all cases, a single wikipedia tag using the primary language for the 
subject, as described above, is sufficient". In contrast, at 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikidata#Secondary_Wikidata_links we 
see "In some rare cases where the subject is plural, values will be separated 
by a semicolon". Neither wording is definitive, with "almost all cases" and "in 
some rare cases", but only the Wikidata one mentions semicolons.
        - In this specific example, the first link seems relevant ("Schleswig 
plebiscite"), while I'm not sure that the second one is ("Denmark in World War 
II").

This seems rare indeed, with only [107 
instances](https://qlever.cs.uni-freiburg.de/osm-planet/iIuYQp) for 
`subject:wikipedia` as I write these lines.
