We've just changed the threshold a bit so it should give less but more
fitting suggestions. We'll play around with that setting a bit more
over the next days to find the one that's right for us.

It basically creates a table of correlations for properties over all
items in Wikidata. So if say date of birth and place of birth are used
together a lot they get a high correlation. When you then have an item
with no place of birth but a date of birth it will suggest that
because of the high correlation.
