This happened when an editor mistakenly make a redirect like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_German_Turks&oldid=1013950040

#REDIRECT [[#REDIRECT [[List of Turkish Germans]]]

I guess that made #REDIRECT [[List of Turkish Germans]] end up in the redirect table, and the redirect target became an invalid article?
