Hi,

I noticed that many id properties still use the string datatype (including extremely frequent ids like https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P213 and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P227).

Why is the conversion so slow, and when is it supposed to be completed?

The community is checking each property to verify it should be converted:

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Addshore/Identifiers/0

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Addshore/Identifiers/1

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Addshore/Identifiers/2

I'm sure help is welcome in checking properties.

and then we convert them in batches.

Cheers,

Katie

Cheers,

Markus
