LGTM
his PR does two things:
- fixes the anchor link to two-thirds section of wikipedia supermajority page (anchor changed on wikipedia)
- spells out "two-thirds" explicitly in the readable text
I think this is a minor editorial change to this document, not a material change, because we already specified two-thirds type of supermajority in the link. Fixing the link would be sufficient. Spelling it out in text explicitly ensures this is known without needing to read the raw markdown.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermajority#Two-thirds_vote has moved to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermajority#Two-thirds
Also, since there are more types of "super-majority" than two-thirds, put "two-thirds" in the (link) text.
