The only data my bot throws away are descriptions if the merge is done with QuickStatements or the client sitelink widget, see table below.
| Tool | sitelink conflict | description conflict |
| Gadget | no merge | merge -> trash leftover descriptions -> redirect |
| Special:MergeItems | no merge | no merge |
| QuickStatements | no merge | merge but no redirect |
| client sitelink widget | no merge | merge but no redirect |
Descriptions are little valuable data in case a second description exist in the same language. On the other hand, redirects are important such that links still point to something useful.
