Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2022-11-21T15:54:23Z] <Lucas_WMDE> lucaswerkmeister-wmde@mwmaint1002:~$ mwscript extensions/Wikibase/repo/maintenance/changePropertyDataType.php wikidatawiki --property-id P11136 --new-data-type string # T323470
Should be done, though it will take 24 hours (IIRC) before the property info cache expires and the property starts to show up under “statements” instead of “external identifiers” on items that use it. (And on each individual item, the statement sections will only update with the next edit or purge, as usual.)
Change 859096 had a related patch set uploaded (by Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE); author: Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE)):
[mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase@master] changePropertyDataType.php: Add optional --summary
And an optional follow-up suggestion, because I don’t like how the edit summary of the edit doesn’t contain a pointer to this task ID.
Change 859096 merged by jenkins-bot:
[mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase@master] changePropertyDataType.php: Add optional --summary
Should be done – for future reference, the command for next time should be something like:
mwscript extensions/Wikibase/repo/maintenance/changePropertyDataType.php wikidatawiki --property-id P11136 --new-data-type string --summary '[[phabricator:T323470|T323470]]'
