bad link

in the section on Base Camps used by the various teams: the link for the Portugal team goes to an article about a field where a papal mass was held for World Youth Day, not the town where Portugal was based during the world cup. Both share the same name, Marienfeld. The linked article itself cautions that the field Marienfeld "should not be confused with the town of Marienfeld in the Gutersloh district of Germany, where the Portugal national football team stayed and which was used as a training area for the team during the 2006 FIFA World Cup", but this link does confuse the two. I would correct this myself, as I'm sure it's not hard to do, but I don't know how. 130.45.73.155 (talk) 18:25, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for spotting this. I ended looking on German Wikipedia and they have an article for the correct town: de:Marienfeld (Harsewinkel). Apparently English Wikipedia hasn't made the article yet, so I created a red link to replace the wrong one. Commander Keane (talk) 05:54, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
