The bot is broken for property [P3831|object has role]

A case in point is the item [Q3760499|George Gilder] where the bot wrongly moved two P3831 qualifier properties from a reference on the main property value to the value of a main property. On the property-value pair "place of birth:New York City", the bot moved a P3831 with value "biography" from the reference to the value "New York City" itself. Clearly "new York City" does not have the role "biography" in this context. The bot also moved another P3831 with value "biography" on a reference for the property-value pair "educated at:Harvard University" to the main property itself with value "Harvard University". Also in this context "Harvard University" does not serve as a biography. Why the bot is making such gross errors would seem to be a mystery (welcome to software bugs). --~~~~

P3831 is not meant to be used in references at all. Since some editors misplace this qualifier in the reference section, the bot simply moves it into qualifier position.
