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.


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.md
  • wiki/commitments/desnz-onshore-wind-27-29gw-2030.md
  • wiki/commitments/desnz-solar-45-47gw-2030.md
  • wiki/commitments/desnz-battery-23-27gw-2030.md
  • wiki/commitments/desnz-clean-power-2030.mdnaming conflict[[desnz-clean-power-2030]] is referenced in climate-biodiversity-actions-2025.md but the actual commitment page is named desnz-clean-power-95pct-2030. Either rename the page or replace the link. Recommended fix: replace [[desnz-clean-power-2030]] in climate-biodiversity-actions-2025.md with [[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 2030
  • wiki/commitments/defra-lnrs-48-2025.md — 48 LNRSs by end 2025 (see stale claim below)
  • wiki/commitments/defra-farm-wildlife-double-2030.md
  • wiki/commitments/defra-marine-49pct-2030.md
  • wiki/commitments/defra-air-quality-30pct-2030.md
  • wiki/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 2024-2026
  • wiki/commitments/ea-10-5bn-flood-investment-2021-27.md — £10.5bn programme
  • wiki/commitments/ea-flood-asset-98pct-condition.md — 98% asset condition target
  • wiki/commitments/ea-flood-new-framework-april-2026.md — new investment framework April 2026
  • wiki/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.md
  • wiki/commitments/hmt-rd-22-6bn-2029.md — R&D £22.6bn/yr by 2029-30
  • wiki/commitments/hmt-affordable-homes-39bn.md — £39bn Affordable Homes Programme
  • wiki/commitments/hmt-sizewell-c-14-2bn.md — £14.2bn for Sizewell C

  • wiki/commitments/hmt-infra-hospital-6bn.md
  • wiki/commitments/hmt-infra-schools-3bn.md
  • wiki/commitments/hmt-infra-prisons-600m.md

MHCLG commitments (2 missing)

  • wiki/commitments/mhclg-150-infra-decisions.md — 150 major infrastructure decisions by Parliament end
  • wiki/commitments/mhclg-nature-restoration-fund.md — NRF delivery

Other missing commitments (5)

  • wiki/commitments/dhsc-nhs-29bn-increase.md — referenced in budget-spending-review-2025.md
  • wiki/commitments/dwp-pathways-work.md — referenced in budget-spending-review-2025.md
  • wiki/commitments/uk-net-zero-2050.md — referenced in climate-biodiversity-actions-2025.md
  • wiki/commitments/uk-2035-ndc-81pct.md — referenced in climate-biodiversity-actions-2025.md
  • wiki/commitments/defra-woodland-16-5pct-2050.md — referenced in climate-biodiversity-actions-2025.md

Priority: Add as stubs or resolve by renaming

  • nhs-waiting-times — referenced in 10yr-infrastructure-strategy.md. Either create wiki/outcomes/nhs-waiting-times.md or change the link to point to [[dhsc-nhs-18-week-92pct]].
  • defence-industrial-strategy — referenced in industrial-strategy-2025.md. The content is covered by the defence sector plan section within industrial-strategy-2025.md. Fix: replace [[defence-industrial-strategy]] with [[industrial-strategy-2025]].
  • net-zero-2050 — referenced in clean-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.md
  • wiki/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.md
  • wiki/entities/defra.md
  • index.md — update both entries

These pages exist but are barely connected to the rest of the wiki.

PageInbound linksFix
commitments/dhsc-nhs-18-week-92pct1 (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-20421Link 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.

ConceptMentionsRecommended action
Skills England6+ pagesCreate wiki/entities/skills-england.md — central to clean energy, IS-8, and defence workforce coordination
DHSC3 pagesCreate wiki/entities/dhsc.md — owns the NHS 18-week commitment; no entity page currently
Environmental Land Management (ELM)15+ pagesCreate 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+ pagesCreate wiki/entities/nature-restoration-fund.md — new mechanism from PIA 2025; central to housing-biodiversity tension resolution
Great British Energy3 pagesCreate wiki/entities/great-british-energy.md stub — new public body; referenced in clean power delivery
NESO (National Energy System Operator)4 pagesCreate wiki/entities/neso.md stub — coordinates grid connection queue reform; critical to Clean Power 2030
National Wealth Fund5 pagesCreate wiki/entities/national-wealth-fund.md stub — £5.8bn in hydrogen, CCUS, ports, green steel
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)8+ pagesCreate wiki/entities/biodiversity-net-gain.md concept page — policy mechanism for housing and infrastructure development
Strategic Spatial Energy Plan (SSEP)4 pagesCreate a stub in wiki/commitments/ or note in relevant pages — 2026 milestone; critical to resolving offshore wind siting
Land Use Framework4 pagesCreate 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]].

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.

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.

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 commitment defra-residual-waste-287kg-2042 is effectively orphaned from the outcome layer.

Missing entity pages

  • wiki/entities/dhsc.md — owns the NHS 18-week commitment; no entity page
  • wiki/entities/skills-england.md — mentioned across 6+ pages as the coordination body for workforce; no page
  • wiki/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” section
  • environmental-improvement-plan-2025 (20 links) — already comprehensive
  • budget-spending-review-2025 (18 links) — already comprehensive
