Wikipedia is not a reliable source, especially when you get into different language versions. The English page on Wikipedia for Nimbus treats it as a genus, not a subgenus for example
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimbus_(beetle)
As I stated in the comments, this change is not intended to be a statement on which of the competing views on the placement of Nimbus is correct. There are sources that treat it as a genus, others that treat it as a subgenus. It is intended to at least get all species within the group consistently named and placed.
I see this: https://is.gd/Qxw7ff for Aphodius cantaminatus conjunctus and this https://is.gd/I4WeBM for Nimbus contaminatus. So Aphodius casarum as synonym. I would be logical, in my opinion, to use a name that is widely used and accepted and thus searchable on the internet. Searching for Nimbus gives mostly nothing. This beetle was a big nuisance the last two years in the east of The Netherlands: https://is.gd/sFoDAV
I still see nothing of this name change in https://www.nederlandsesoorten.nl/linnaeus_ng/app/views/species/nsr_taxon.php?id=152458&cat=&epi=1 or https://waarneming.nl/species/8532/ nor on https://www.kerbtier.de/ or https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=Nimbus%20contaminatus&title=Speciaal%3AZoeken&fulltext=1&ns0=1
