Unable to create item on Gratisdata

Description

I'm currently unable to create items at all, since after import. I think a maintenance script is supposed to be run. Let me try explaining concisely;
After the import, there was no Q1, Q3, and Q15, so when I created the first item It was supposed to be Q1187 since that is the next number in line after Q1186 which is the very last ID of items on the wiki. when I tried creating the next item it showed an error that solely says "The item already exists", I was wondering why then I tried again then it worked which was now Q3 (because Q3 did not exist). The RC filter can tell you this.

I want the Item ID to start from Q1187 so that users can create an item.

For the record, I resolved this with pywikibot. I use the auto-creation of items from pages on the client wiki, so when it got to the last item number Q1185 or thereabout, it started to create items normally. The script ran for approximately 20 hours.
The script used: newitem.py
and I ran the script from directory mode via pwb.py with newitem -pageage:1 -lastedit:1 -family:gratispaideia -start:Template:!.
These are all for the record.

I believe in a nutshell, users aren't advice to import Wikibase Items and Properties in the future, as they will not be able to create their own Items and Properties. Unless they know what they are doing.
