Hi Paul,

I don't know exactly how your "importance" ranking is defined, but it seems 
like you are making some "PageRank-y" inferences based on the incoming links, 
and incoming redirects. 

Putting aside the unprovedness of redirects conferring PageRank for a moment.

Your question as I understand it, is how to find all the redirects, of all the 
sitelinks, of a given WikidataQID.
In general I don't think this is easy, but a complicated solution may not be 
too difficult to compute. Redirect pages are just pages in the main namespace 
that have the  "#REDIRECT" syntax. That means you can find them by 
transclusion, and some filtering. Like in this API call 

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Deadpool&hidelinks=1&hidetrans=1

 (It also seems that this tool will do it: 
http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/rdcheck.py?page=Deadpool )

But if you were going to look at ALL the redirects anyway, another way to do 
this might be to start looking at redirects and matching them into your 
preexisting targets. You could do this using the database replicas on Wikimedia 
labs and the redirect table

Subject: [Wikidata-l] Reconciliation of Wikipedia usage data with Wikidata?

Lately I've merged Wikipedia usage information with DBpedia
information to produce a subjective importance score:

https://github.com/paulhoule/telepath/wiki/SubjectiveEye3D

That particular product has two layers of processing that can be done
independently:  one is averaging over time,  the other is reconciling
the {project,page URI} tuples to concepts.  In the case of DBpedia,
the main thing that happens is that importance is summed up for all of
the redirects that point to a particular concept.

The product linked above was built with the English Dbpedia,  but it
ought to be easy to do the same thing with a different ?lang Dbpedia,
and get products that reflect the point of view of different ?lang
zones.

I don't see redirect data in Wikidata,  so it seems that redirects
should be processed against DBpedia of all languages and then these
should be merged with the contents of the "Wikipedia pages linked to
this Item" that I see on a page like this:

http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1631090

does this make sense?  What's the easy way to get bulk access to that
information?  Who else wants to see this happen?
