@Wostr: now I am completely lost - why did you move all sitelinks with title like "glucose" to item with label "d-glucose"? I am trying to keep my hands off "revert" button... --Infovarius (talk) 20:06, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Infovarius: because, despite the article names, I think that most sitelinks (that I could read) describe only D-glucose or are mainly about D-glucose. There are two possible solutions here:
  1. all sitelinks can be added to one item which won't be an equivalent to all Wikipedia articles — that is probably preferred by Wikipedia users
  2. some sitelinks should be added to glucose (Q37525) and the rest to D-glucose (Q75079224) – which probably will be disorienting to Wikipedia users and will lead to incorrect changes from time to time.
I'm really neutral to either way, sitelinks are just a mere addition to Wikidata, not it's main content, so I won't argue about it. Wostr (talk) 22:58, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
