Does that mean that the original plan of "fetching" (dare I say importing) 200k Wikidata links through automated connections from existing Wikipedia links is (a) dangerous because you can easily obtain a reference to something totally different, or (b) no problem because it is *to be expected* that an object's Wikipedia and Wikidata links point to different things an hence the import wouldn't introduce "errors" per se?
