Couple of points:
Changing a broken link for a new link is completely different to finding a 'citation needed' tag and adding your relevant link there. A change of url is more likely to set off alarm bells, as Wikipedia's usual line with broken links is that they will link to an archived version of that page instead.
Always check the regularity of edits to a page before making your own. Some of the man-baby editors are really precious about 'their' pages, no matter how obscure.

I assume you meant no-follow?
If it's a very popular page, of course. If it's a niche page with 2 visits a month, you won't be getting traffic from there.

i don't care about wikipedia but i love wikis since it easily automates to answer your specific question ofc it gives a lot trust signals even no follow worth such but unless you easily can get its not really worth to scrape and find wikipedia instead just build wikis since the CMS are similar informative it still give value ofc not like wikipedia but its worth and trouble free

Wikipedia links are nofollow, so they don't transfer direct PageRank. However, they provide excellent E-E-A-T entity trust signals and referral traffic, often resulting in natural link syndication from secondary sites.

Wikipedia links can help with referral traffic and credibility, but I wouldn’t expect much SEO value from them. For SEO, focus on relevant editorial links from real websites in your niche and treat Wikipedia as a secondary opportunity.

Wikipedia was worth having before and I still believe its valuable today. Not because of the nofollow link itself, but because Google uses Wikipedia a lot for understanding entities.
