Hey folks :)
We have enabled the new datatype for identifiers now. New properties will
start showing up at
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ListProperties/external-id. As
announced we will also start converting existing properties with datatype
string that should be external identifiers. We will start with the first
eleven from
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Addshore/Identifiers/0. We
will do more over the coming days. There are still a lot of properties to
go through so please help with that so we can get this over with quickly to
cause minimal disruption to 3rd parties relying on our data. You will also
see the identifiers that are already converted moving to a new section at
the bottom of the item pages. This might need a purge still though to clear
the cache.
Cheers
Lydia
