There are currently ~500 item-to-item links on WIkidata where the "target item" is a redirect.
Is there a bot resolving those? Should the merge API do that automatically? Or the merge script on site? Or Wikidata itself, after, say, a day of not reverting the merge?
I am not aware of a bot doing that yet. But I think there should be. We could probably do something in Wikibase itself but my gut feeling is that this is better handled by a bot. I don't think we can fix these immediately because there are cases where the merge is wrong for example. Comments?
