plastering over wago

[markyyyyyy]

The electricians got rid of an old socket no longer needed, and secured with a wago type connector. Can i simply plaster over this with bonding coat prior to skimming?

If you are going to have a socket next to there anyway I would put a blanking plate

You need to cover over the wiring to stop plaster getting into the connectors.

No.
The plaster will contain moisture which will seep into the connections and if it does not go bang then your RCD if you have one will likely trip.
use a blanking plate.

it needs a blank to show there’s something going on behind there.

You don’t need a blanking plate, but the wagos need to be in a maintenance free junction box, ie: wago box

You would be better off with a blanking plate.
If you cover them (you will not get the wago's in a wagobox within that space) then what happens if something goes wrong?
you will have to break through the plaster.
