Some of the links are to other websites, e.g. the fishing area 
https://osm.mapki.com/history/way/148514524 .

It might well just be a good-faith attempt to "add websites to OSM" 
rather than to drive traffic to any particular sites, although the 
selection of sites seems very narrow :) .  In the example above, the 
site appears to be a 3rd-party one, but is the first search engine 
result after the local group's Facebook page.

Best Regards,

Andy
