wikipedia tag is supposed to be specifically about mapped object

For example statue of George Boole would have
subject:wikipedia=en:George Boole
tag, not
wikipedia=en:George Boole

Or
brand:wikipedia=en:McDonald's
on a McDonald's fast food rather than
wikipedia=en:McDonald's

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikipedia#Secondary_Wikipedia_links <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikipedia#Secondary_Wikipedia_links> for more info.

Yes, but note

that it may be rerun in future.

In Poland tagging standard is to use both wikipedia and wikidata tags if possible, if
the tagging standard in Ireland is the same I may add missing wikipedia and wikidata tags.
