From Wikidata chat:
When entering in a property or its corresponding item, if you were entering in the underlying identifier, that is typing "p31" or "q3331189" "q1860" the code lookup would be case-insensitive. Overnight—presumably during code update—such actions have become case-sensitive, meaning that it needs to be "P31", etc.
This needs to be fixed, there is no reason for case-sensitive match.

Items are resolved, though still not functioning for properties. Type "p31" and match not found, type "P31" and "instance of" appears.
It looks like the fix was rolled back :( so we'll see what happens when it is reinstated.

[mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase@master] Add special case handling for some forms of IDs
Both q42 and p31 work for me now. Other cases will be covered in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/387025/
Thanks for confirming!
Just to be sure, the previous one didn't need reverting, it was reverted along with other patches that happened at that time due to performance problems are that time. This is pretty standard procedure to return everything to a known good code when problems arise. The problem was in completely different part though. As soon as the source of the problems was identified and fixed, the pending patches were applied again.
