Due to T301247 it was possible to create sitelinks on Wikidata to all existing sites, even if they aren't supported for sitelinks (for example incubatorwiki).
We should look for all such site links and remove them, as they can cause problems for data re-user and editors (these site links are not visible in the UI and can't easily be removed via the API). These site links can also cause further problems, like T284211, both in our software and for third parties using Wikidata's data.
I wrote a one-off script for this and ran it on tool forge:
hoo@tools-sgebastion-07:~$ php T301904.php item_id,ips_site_id Q4847311,incubatorwiki Q4654925,incubatorwiki Q2018526,incubatorwiki Q6173452,ruwikimedia Q29579,incubatorwiki Q47647413,ruwikimedia Q61993734,ruwikimedia Q87450764,ruwikimedia Q5683132,incubatorwiki Q2201314,incubatorwiki Q148,incubatorwiki Q11725,incubatorwiki Q11736,incubatorwiki Q52,incubatorwiki Q5462387,incubatorwiki
I believe I've removed them all now - https://w.wiki/58RE is no longer returning any results, at least.
