Thanks, Katie. I see that the external ID datatype does not work as
planed. At least I thought the original idea was to clean up the UI by
moving hard-to-understand string IDs to a separate section. From the
discussions on these pages, I see that the community uses criteria that
are completely unrelated to UI aspects, but have something to do with
the degree to which the property encodes a one-to-one mapping. I guess
this is also valid, but won't be useful for UI purposes. I will need to
use another solution for my case then.

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,
