Description

some users have the user preference "rcshowwikidata".

per Ide94af7, we are changing the preference to be "rcshowwikibase" (with backwards compat)

We may want to run a maintenance script to update preferences on clients. We have about ~1100 users on enwiki with this preference, for example.

alternatively, we can just update it by running a query, but a simple maintenance script would be easy to make.

• bzimport raised the priority of this task from to Medium.Nov 22 2014, 3:04 AM

• bzimport set Reference to bz62054.

• bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

update user_properties set up_property = 'rcshowwikibase' where up_property = 'rcshowwikidata';

I'm not sure why we would want a maintenance script for this...

Agreed.
