That's a good question. I was also thinking about the case of items that
have VIAF property, but the code is not shown on Wikipedia because the
related article lacks the template.

We can make a list of all items that have VIAF (and/or related properties),
then check which WP articles don't have an authority control template, and
just add it with a bot, so that it can recall the code from Wikidata.
