Yeah good practice to terminate any loose but still potentially live wires in a terminal box (wago is just a brand, loads of different ones. UK folk often just use a ceiling rose/lighting connection and terminate it inside that as they are cheap and obvious why its there). Dodgier practice is just wrap it in electrical tape and hide it in the wall.
Was chopping in a skirting board for engineered wood floor to go in and cut right through a surprise ring main for the downstairs flat! No idea how I didn't get a shock, but made a good fizzle pop sound until their RCD tripped out and scorched the paint on the skirting. Why it was hiding in our skirting board I don't know.

Next. The house had a bunch of ugly wall mounted lamps. They've been removed (thankfully) and been there's these wagoboxes in their place. I assume they're just holding the wires cos they're live?
