Wikidata reconciliation endpoint is unreliable #4205

@PabloCastellano

Description

@PabloCastellano

Reconciliating names doesn't work well using the default https://wdreconcile.toolforge.org endpoint. Indeed when you visit that page, it recommends you use https://wikidata.reconci.link instead. Changing the endpoint solves the issue.

To Reproduce

Reconciling "Guillermo Lasso" against Q5 (human) suggest the best result is https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q106481416 which contains the name but is not a human.
