The navaid record for Wau NDB, near Wau Airport (HSWW) in South Sudan, has a wrong value in its ident field.

Current value: Wau_NDB_

This is not an identifier, it instead looks like part of the filename field (Wau_NDB_SD).

Effect: the record's own page does not open. This link comes from the "closest navaids" list for HSWW, and it returns 404:

https://ourairports.com/navaids/Wau_NDB_/Wau_NDB_SD/

Other navaids in the same list open normally. So the problem is only in this record.

Record details from navaids.csv:

id 95519

filename Wau_NDB_SD

ident Wau_NDB_

name Wau

type NDB

frequency 355 kHz

position 7.723020, 27.976500

associated airport HSWW

iso_country SS

One more point: the filename ends in SD (Sudan), but iso_country is SS (South Sudan). Wau has been in South Sudan since 2011. The filename may also be out of date.
