[Tagging] Subsequent wikipedia links

Dear wikipedia taggers,

There seems to be some doubt as to how the second and subsequent 
wikipedia links are handled.  Here's an example of the problem:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/117544396/history

Of the six versions 2 are initially mapping it and refining the mapping; 
the other four are "Mispelled or erroneous tags", "multiple fix", 
"Mispelled or erroneous tags" (again), and "fixing typos in key 
wikipedia and correcting some variants" (which seems to think that 
there's a wikipedia language called "operator").

Another example (this time with 7 non-mapping revisions) is:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/118355113/history

Would it be possible for wikipedia taggers to come to some sort of 
agreement as to the valid tagging _before_ hitting the editor? 
Otherwise, this one will run and run.

Cheers,

Andy
