    By the way, we also have multilingual labels that could perhaps improve
    the automatic matching. YSO generally has fi/sv/en, YSO places has
    fi/sv. Can you make use of these too if I provided them in additional
    columns?

Sorry, mix'n'match only does single language labels.

Ok, then I have to think which language to pick for Mix'n'Match use. For YSO, Finnish and Swedish labels are generally the best quality, but probably wouldn't produce as many automated hits as the English ones. Also it depends on who is going to do the manual matching.

Any advice on this?

    It does redirect like this already. See e.g.
    http://www.yso.fi/onto/yso/p138653

Great! So you could bunch the "old" ones and the new places into one list?

In principle yes, but in practice, I think it would make sense to use two lists, because the places are quite different from the general concepts. Also the matching could be more focused for the places - don't try to match with any Wikidata entity that is not a place.
