Create a third item in Wikidata, and use that for the language links. Any Wikipedia that has two separate articles can link to the separate items, any Wikipedia that has only one article can link to the single item.

Disambiguation? In Openstreetmap it makes total sense to have 2 items for these very different concepts.

The Wikipedia article about Wangerooge describes an island and municipality.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wangerooge

These two concepts, island and municipality, have discrete items.

Municipality: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q25135
Island: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17081143

I would like Q17081143 to point to the Wangerooge Wikipedia article, but
adding the link gives this error:

> The link enwiki:Wangerooge is already used by item Q25135. You may remove it

How can we fix this?
