Defending the wiki from the twin editing hazards of editors with more enthusiasm than judgement and cargo cult-style copying by people who misunderstand the reasons to do or not to do things is difficult. For one thing you do not want to sink to that level yourself when editing.

A Wikipedia link is an optional component that can be added to a tag description to someone who knows what the tag is about. I also thought like this, but not so rarely I have noticed people are not only adding this link as the first word, they are also replacing the following definition by the first paragraph of the English wikipedia article with the same name. As some people have now started to create wikidata objects for OSM tags, I am sort of worried that part of our authority on the meaning of tags might be slowly externalized: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q29637965 Cheers, Martin
