Reinheitsgebot adding NNDB ID to fictional humans

Hi! I imagine this bot is doing other users' edits from mix n' match, but it's now twice added an NNDB people ID to a fictional character https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q18710699&action=history . Is there a way to make the NNDB catalog only match with instanceOf:human on mix n' match? In the meantime I just created an item for the human in question (Tom Buchanan (Q58650775)) to avoid this happening again. I can't tell if this was an automatic match or a manual match done by a user; if it was automatic then that should be changed.

Cheers,

Hardwigg

It was "automatched via auxiliary data" , but I'm not sure where it came from. I have changed the entry in Mix'n'match to point to your new item. I will try to add a "Q5" filter to the sync code.

The only shared information between the NNDB page and this character are their name and their gender, so not sure how it could have automatched them together. But yeah, adding that filter should do the trick.
