Tim,
There are different problems, let's keep them separate (vielleicht reden wir
auch - Englisch - aneinander vorbei... ;)
a) There is a problem in the code of osm.org how it links wikipedia articles.
You can't do a link like this:
$PATH#anchor?uselang=en
This is bad URL syntax. You (osm.org) have to do
$PATH?uselang=en#anchor
https://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/4802
b) It is "not a good idea" to link objects in Wikipedia lists like
Liste der denkmalgeschützten Objekte in Wien/Penzing#objektid-25026
This object should have its own "name" in Wikipedia, which then redirects to
whereever this object can be found. This shouldn't be "external" but a feature
in Wikipedia/Wikidata/Wikiwhatsoever.
c) The objectID I'm referencing is nothing "external", it's a nationally unique
ID given by the Austrian Bundesdenkmalamt which identifies each "monument" in
Austria. Therefore it's the best idea to use /this/ as /the/ reference to the
given object (with reference to it being a historic monument). Alex Wagner, who
created all the "Denkmalgeschützte Objekte" in Austria in the Wikipedia used it
when he created the Wikipedia pages.

OSM could save this objectID, say:
ref:monument=AT:25026
and WIWOSM then knows how to find this (uniquely identified) object in Wikipedia.
