Hi,
I've added a task to our Wikidata gadgets project on Phabricator to be sure that the
merge gadget gets adjusted:

Hey!
tl;dr after the next deploy merging two items creates a redirect, merge gadget (and every
tool with a similar functionality) needs to be adjusted to the new functionality
There was a change to the functionality of merging items. Whenever you merge two items a
redirect will be automatically created.
If you merge via the special page nothing changed - except for the item, that is merged
into another item now also redirects to that item.
The same goes for the API except for using 'ignoreconflicts'- when the item is not
left empty after the merge it won't be a redirect and still be there as before without
the data that got merged into the other item. (So it will only have the data that would
have given a merge conflict.)
Last but not least: The merge gadget will need some adjusting. That's expected since
the functionality changed.
Please keep that in mind if you have any tool, that merges items.
Cheers,
Lucie
