But not in 100% of cases.
And it's difficult to predict for a big number of pages if their items should be merged or not.
If the interwiki links are very old, untouched for long time, actually there could be an interwiki conflict.

For this specific I'd say that this was the fault of the Wikidata user mass creating items. They should be sure that the processed pages lacks interwikis before running petscan as item creator. Also petscan should be enhanced to avoid creating such issues.

This function could be useful, but the actual usecases range for it is very limited, IMO, and it tend to be minimized as on WD users were warned to not create duplicated items.
