Wiki Health Report — First Pass
Generated: 2026-04-15. Covers all 53 pages in wiki/. Four categories: broken links, orphan pages, missing concept pages, and factual/consistency issues.
1. Broken Links (38 pages referenced but not created)
These wikilinks appear in page content or frontmatter but have no corresponding file. In Obsidian they will render as dead links.
Priority: Create these (substantive missing pages)
These represent meaningful gaps — important commitments or concepts that are fully referenced but absent.
DESNZ clean power capacity commitments (5 missing)
Referenced in clean-power-2030.md commitments list and clean-power-2030-outcome.md. Each is a trackable delivery commitment with a specific GW target.
wiki/commitments/desnz-offshore-wind-43-50gw-2030.mdwiki/commitments/desnz-onshore-wind-27-29gw-2030.mdwiki/commitments/desnz-solar-45-47gw-2030.mdwiki/commitments/desnz-battery-23-27gw-2030.mdwiki/commitments/desnz-clean-power-2030.md← naming conflict —[[desnz-clean-power-2030]]is referenced inclimate-biodiversity-actions-2025.mdbut the actual commitment page is nameddesnz-clean-power-95pct-2030. Either rename the page or replace the link. Recommended fix: replace[[desnz-clean-power-2030]]inclimate-biodiversity-actions-2025.mdwith[[desnz-clean-power-95pct-2030]].
Defra biodiversity commitments (10 missing)
All referenced in environmental-improvement-plan-2025.md and nature-recovery-2030.md but no standalone commitment pages were created. Most important for delivery tracking:
wiki/commitments/defra-30by30.md— 30% land/sea by 2030 (statutory)wiki/commitments/defra-habitat-250kha-2030.md— 250,000ha wildlife habitat by 2030 (statutory)wiki/commitments/defra-sssi-50pct-2030.md— 50% SSSI features on track by 2030 (statutory)wiki/commitments/defra-woodland-43kha-2030.md— 43,000ha woodland by 2030 (statutory)wiki/commitments/defra-agri-water-quality-12pct-2030.md— 12% interim pollution reduction by 2030wiki/commitments/defra-lnrs-48-2025.md— 48 LNRSs by end 2025 (see stale claim below)wiki/commitments/defra-farm-wildlife-double-2030.mdwiki/commitments/defra-marine-49pct-2030.mdwiki/commitments/defra-air-quality-30pct-2030.mdwiki/commitments/defra-hedgerows-48km-2037.md
EA flood commitments (5 missing)
Referenced in fcerm-strategy-reports.md and flood-resilience-outcome.md:
wiki/commitments/ea-flood-protection-52k-properties.md— 52,000 properties protected 2024-2026wiki/commitments/ea-10-5bn-flood-investment-2021-27.md— £10.5bn programmewiki/commitments/ea-flood-asset-98pct-condition.md— 98% asset condition targetwiki/commitments/ea-flood-new-framework-april-2026.md— new investment framework April 2026wiki/commitments/ea-nafra-100pct-coverage-summer-2026.md— NaFRA 100% coverage
HMT fiscal/infrastructure commitments (8 missing)
Referenced in 10yr-infrastructure-strategy.md and budget-spending-review-2025.md:
wiki/commitments/hmt-725bn-infra-decade.mdwiki/commitments/hmt-rd-22-6bn-2029.md— R&D £22.6bn/yr by 2029-30wiki/commitments/hmt-affordable-homes-39bn.md— £39bn Affordable Homes Programmewiki/commitments/hmt-sizewell-c-14-2bn.md— £14.2bn for Sizewell Cwiki/commitments/hmt-780-pipeline.mdwiki/commitments/hmt-infra-hospital-6bn.mdwiki/commitments/hmt-infra-schools-3bn.mdwiki/commitments/hmt-infra-prisons-600m.md
MHCLG commitments (2 missing)
wiki/commitments/mhclg-150-infra-decisions.md— 150 major infrastructure decisions by Parliament endwiki/commitments/mhclg-nature-restoration-fund.md— NRF delivery
Other missing commitments (5)
wiki/commitments/dhsc-nhs-29bn-increase.md— referenced inbudget-spending-review-2025.mdwiki/commitments/dwp-pathways-work.md— referenced inbudget-spending-review-2025.mdwiki/commitments/uk-net-zero-2050.md— referenced inclimate-biodiversity-actions-2025.mdwiki/commitments/uk-2035-ndc-81pct.md— referenced inclimate-biodiversity-actions-2025.mdwiki/commitments/defra-woodland-16-5pct-2050.md— referenced inclimate-biodiversity-actions-2025.md
Priority: Add as stubs or resolve by renaming
nhs-waiting-times— referenced in10yr-infrastructure-strategy.md. Either createwiki/outcomes/nhs-waiting-times.mdor change the link to point to[[dhsc-nhs-18-week-92pct]].defence-industrial-strategy— referenced inindustrial-strategy-2025.md. The content is covered by the defence sector plan section withinindustrial-strategy-2025.md. Fix: replace[[defence-industrial-strategy]]with[[industrial-strategy-2025]].net-zero-2050— referenced inclean-power-2030-outcome.md. No page exists. Either create a stub or link to[[uk-net-zero-2050]](also missing) or absorb into[[net-zero-clean-power]]theme.
2. Naming Collision — CRITICAL
[[circular-economy-waste]] resolves to two different files in Obsidian:
wiki/strategies/circular-economy-waste.mdwiki/themes/circular-economy-waste.md
Obsidian resolves ambiguous wikilinks by alphabetical or first-found match — unpredictable and will break graph view.
Fix: Rename the strategy page to wiki/strategies/circular-economy-waste-policy.md and update all references.
Affected links (update after rename):
wiki/commitments/defra-residual-waste-287kg-2042.md— has[[circular-economy-waste]], [[circular-economy-waste]](also duplicated — remove one)wiki/strategies/target-delivery-plans.mdwiki/entities/defra.mdindex.md— update both entries
3. Orphan Pages (1 or fewer inbound content links)
These pages exist but are barely connected to the rest of the wiki.
| Page | Inbound links | Fix |
|---|---|---|
commitments/dhsc-nhs-18-week-92pct | 1 (index only) | Create wiki/outcomes/nhs-waiting-times.md and link to it; add to NHS entity stub or DHSC entity page |
commitments/defra-residual-waste-287kg-2042 | 1 | Link from wiki/outcomes/residual-waste-reduction.md (missing outcome page) and from circular-economy-waste theme |
Missing outcome page: wiki/outcomes/residual-waste-reduction.md — the residual waste target has a commitment page and a target delivery plan but no outcome page. Creates an orphaned commitment.
4. Concepts Without Dedicated Pages
These terms appear across 5 or more pages but have no wiki page of their own. Most are important enough to warrant at least a stub entity page.
| Concept | Mentions | Recommended action |
|---|---|---|
| Skills England | 6+ pages | Create wiki/entities/skills-england.md — central to clean energy, IS-8, and defence workforce coordination |
| DHSC | 3 pages | Create wiki/entities/dhsc.md — owns the NHS 18-week commitment; no entity page currently |
| Environmental Land Management (ELM) | 15+ pages | Create wiki/entities/elm.md or a concept page — ELM (SFI + Countryside Stewardship + Landscape Recovery) is the primary delivery mechanism for nature recovery and water quality; currently described only within other pages |
| Nature Restoration Fund (NRF) | 10+ pages | Create wiki/entities/nature-restoration-fund.md — new mechanism from PIA 2025; central to housing-biodiversity tension resolution |
| Great British Energy | 3 pages | Create wiki/entities/great-british-energy.md stub — new public body; referenced in clean power delivery |
| NESO (National Energy System Operator) | 4 pages | Create wiki/entities/neso.md stub — coordinates grid connection queue reform; critical to Clean Power 2030 |
| National Wealth Fund | 5 pages | Create wiki/entities/national-wealth-fund.md stub — £5.8bn in hydrogen, CCUS, ports, green steel |
| Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) | 8+ pages | Create wiki/entities/biodiversity-net-gain.md concept page — policy mechanism for housing and infrastructure development |
| Strategic Spatial Energy Plan (SSEP) | 4 pages | Create a stub in wiki/commitments/ or note in relevant pages — 2026 milestone; critical to resolving offshore wind siting |
| Land Use Framework | 4 pages | Create stub — “late 2025” target; see stale claim below |
5. Factual and Consistency Issues
5a. Defence spending figure: 2.5% vs. 2.6% GDP
Contradiction: The commitment page mod-defence-spending-2-5pct-gdp-2027.md consistently uses 2.5% of GDP by 2027 (from the Spring Statement, March 2025). The Spending Review (June 2025 — a later, authoritative document) upgrades this to 2.6% GDP by 2027.
Current state:
- Spring Statement (March 2025): “2.5% by 2027”
- Spending Review (June 2025): “2.6% by 2027”
mod-defence-spending-2-5pct-gdp-2027.md: uses 2.5% throughout
Fix: Update the commitment page to reflect the Spending Review figure of 2.6%. Note the upward revision with a delivery history entry:
- [2025-06-11] Spending Review 2025: upgraded to 2.6% GDP by 2027 (from 2.5% in Spring Statement)
Consider renaming the page to mod-defence-spending-2-6pct-gdp-2027.md and updating all references.
5b. Flood properties at risk: 5.5m vs. 6.3m
Not a contradiction — an update: FCERM 2023-24 report states “~5.5 million homes and businesses at risk.” FCERM 2024-25 states “6.3 million.” The increase reflects NaFRA 2024’s new climate-adjusted risk modelling (December 2024). Pages use the more recent 6.3m figure correctly.
Action: Add a note to fcerm-strategy-reports.md explaining the upward revision came from NaFRA 2024’s improved methodology — otherwise the figure change across annual reports looks like a discrepancy.
5c. desnz-clean-power-2030 vs. desnz-clean-power-95pct-2030
Broken link: climate-biodiversity-actions-2025.md references [[desnz-clean-power-2030]]. The actual commitment page is desnz-clean-power-95pct-2030.md. This is a dangling link.
Fix: In wiki/strategies/climate-biodiversity-actions-2025.md, change [[desnz-clean-power-2030]] to [[desnz-clean-power-95pct-2030]].
5d. Self-referential link in circular-economy-waste strategy
wiki/strategies/circular-economy-waste.md has [[circular-economy-waste]] in its own related: frontmatter, which links to itself (or to the theme page — see naming collision above). Remove the self-reference; replace with [[circular-economy-waste-policy]] → [[net-zero-clean-power]] or other relevant link once renamed.
5e. Duplicate link in defra-residual-waste-287kg-2042.md
The related: frontmatter contains [[circular-economy-waste]], [[circular-economy-waste]] — duplicated. Remove one.
6. Potentially Stale Claims (Milestones Not Confirmed as Delivered)
These commitments had deadlines in late 2025 or early 2026. The sources don’t confirm delivery, and no subsequent source has updated their status.
| Claim | Source | Deadline | Status in wiki | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Land Use Framework published | climate-biodiversity-actions-2025.md | ”Late 2025” | Not tracked | Create wiki/commitments/defra-land-use-framework.md; mark status: unknown; add open question to farming-land-use.md theme |
| 48 LNRSs covering all England | environmental-improvement-plan-2025.md | End 2025 | Referenced as future | Create wiki/commitments/defra-lnrs-48-2025.md; status: unknown; add open question |
| Circular Economy Growth Plan | circular-economy-waste.md | ”Early 2026" | "Expected” | Update theme page open questions section to flag as unconfirmed |
| Strategic Spatial Energy Plan | clean-power-2030.md | ”2026 milestone” | Referenced | Add to net-zero-clean-power.md open questions |
| Water White Paper Transition Plan | water-sector-reform.md | ”2026” | Flagged as critical | Add to water-flooding.md open questions |
| Farming Roadmap | farming-rural-policy-2025.md | ”Later in 2026” | Tracked | OK — correctly marked as future |
7. Structural Gaps
Missing outcome page
wiki/outcomes/residual-waste-reduction.md— The Residual Waste TDP has a strategy page, a commitment page, and a theme — but no outcome page. The commitmentdefra-residual-waste-287kg-2042is effectively orphaned from the outcome layer.
Missing entity pages
wiki/entities/dhsc.md— owns the NHS 18-week commitment; no entity pagewiki/entities/skills-england.md— mentioned across 6+ pages as the coordination body for workforce; no pagewiki/entities/great-british-energy.md— new public body; referenced in clean power delivery
Hub pages to strengthen
Pages with high inbound link counts that could do more synthesis work:
defra(30 inbound links) — already comprehensive; consider adding a “key tensions summary” sectionenvironmental-improvement-plan-2025(20 links) — already comprehensivebudget-spending-review-2025(18 links) — already comprehensive
