Hi Ben, looked at the first result from your query. Merge was done by a new user, who seems to have an "interest" in biology: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/H%C3%AA_de_tekhn%C3%AA_makr%C3%AA
Second result, another user with no user page, same pattern: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Nguyenld Note that both do other things to items in the "realm", so it doesn't appear to be my game. Both have done multiple merges. Haven't looked at more results/ Will look into game mods anyway.
