Status update: the backlog of sitelinks to inexistent pages is cleared, except for: - Sitelinks to wikis that have been closed (their status is undetermined anyways; number of cases is unknown) - Sitelinks to Special pages, which appear as inexistent in some contexts but actually exist (these should not happen per guidelines, but there are ~1000 of such sitelinks currently in Wikidata) - Sitelinks to User pages where the user has a genered namespace prefix on the client wiki; these pages appear as inexistent in some scenarios as well; ~10 cases) I do not plan to touch these at the moment. Besides that, I was able to clear the backlog with a custom script, except for ~75 really obscure cases which needed manual intervention. This means that my bot script is able to deal with almost everything that has shown up in the past. The statistics provided by me on July 12 above in this task is still valid. The main culprit to my experience are rate-limit issues when pages are deleted on the client wiki at a high rate (admin bot, Special:Nuke, i.e. not ratelimited) so that the sitelink removal on Wikidata cannot keep up. Since almost everything can be fixed automatically, I do not see an urgent need to change anything in the software.
