For "casual matching", try the game mode: https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/#/random/473
Thanks, I already tried all the modes. They are good for different purposes. The manual mode seems most efficient for verifying the automated matches, most of which can just be confirmed with a single click without reloading a whole page, but the game modes are better for handling the unmatched ones since they provide some fuzzier suggestions without having to do manual searches.
I couldn't see the "not on Wikidata" button that was mentioned in the manual in any of the modes. Has it been removed? It would be useful to be able to mark that something is not (yet) in Wikidata, though I suppose it could be added by someone else at any time, so this type of information may become obsolete over time.
In any case we need to decide whether to add all the places (e.g. villages and small lakes) that are not yet in Wikidata as new entities or not. Is there any guidance on this? I know the notability guidelines [1], but they are rather vague.
For most of the places we would like to add, there is at least one other public source - the Finnish place names registry, which contains information such as names, type, administrative hierarchy and coordinates - even though it is currently not linked to Wikidata in any way. And since this set of places is originally based on a library authority file that is maintained based on indexing needs, there should be at least one document about each place in libraries, archives and/or museum collections. So every place we have is at least slightly notable, but I'm not sure whether that's notable enough for Wikidata.
