Hoi, The point by Magnus is that he uses an API. When his software is to blame, blame the API. That is all. Thanks, GerardM

Using Q19921058 as an example as the item is not empty a redirect will not / can not be created.

WiDaR uses the Wikidata API to merge. Redirect (pun intended) all blame there.

WiDaR (which is used by the Wikidata game, among others) creates (almost) empty items when it I'd used to merge two items with different descriptions in some language. In that case all other stuff is merged, but the item that should become a redirect is left behind with only the problematic description and nothing else. See Q19921058 for case where this issue created such an item after a recent merge attempt of mine. _______________________________________________ Wikidata mailing list Wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
