Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.):

Step 1: Search “Heteropogon”

Step 2: 1st 2 options are both “genus Heteropogon”. The first is a grass genus, the second an insect genus. Select the 2nd.

Step 3: You’re seeing pictures, taxonomy, etc for the insect. “About” links to the Wkipedia page for the grasses

The best way to address issues like this is with a flag on the taxon on iNaturalist itself, as in:
https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/parideae-page-wrong-link-to-wikipedia/39863
https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/genus-acar-a-mollusc-links-to-the-wrong-wikipedia-page/36199

I’ve created a flag here: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/61724/flags so feel free to add info.
