This is precisely the sort of thing a bot could clean up, daily or
weekly say.
actually it is not that simple. As we haven't only 1 method, but, for
good reason, several, to store references to wikipedia, this bot would
have to check whether the linked full url in the website is already
covered by the wikipedia interlanguage links or not. This is not
impossible, but also not completely trivial. This bot should also
check whether the previous version had a different website value and
restore this in case it makes sense, or flag it for human review.

I wrote a program http://ausleuchtung.ch/geo_wiki/ which allows to find
location of all Wikipedia articles either by coordinates in the articles
themselves, or by the OpenStreetMap tags (wikipedia, wikimedia_commons,
wikidata) in the radius of ten kilometers around a click.
It works for all language versions of Wikipedia, just change Wikipedia
language field from en to fr, de, it, ru, etc. A search by an OSM tag
may take 2 - 3 seconds.
So it is possible to check Wikipedia articles locations and OSM tags in
an area visually. I noticed and corrected quite of few Wikipedia
articles with wrong geographical coordinates with this tool. Probably
people, who posses encyclopedic knowledge and create articles, are not
always too good in cartography.

Oleksiy
