Wikipedia's own article on the Oberammergau Passion Play is a tertiary encyclopedic source. Its strength is that it lays out the performance record cleanly, the decennial staging since 1634, the 1934 Hitler visit, the Second Vatican Council reforms and their pressure on the script, and the 2010 and 2022 productions, and it flags its own plague vow legend as contested against the documented 1632 to 1633 outbreak rather than presenting it flatly. Its limit is the ordinary one for a crowd edited encyclopedia entry: useful for the outline, not a substitute for the dedicated scholarly study of the play's own troubled staging history.

Notes
Tertiary encyclopedic overview, tier 3: the 1633 plague vow legend against the documented 1632 to 1633 outbreak, the decennial performance record since 1634, the 1934 Hitler visit, the Second Vatican Council and post-1965 reform pressure, and the 2010 and 2022 productions. Cross-checked against the historical record it itself flags as contested.
