            Bug ID: 54085
           Summary: EntityIdValues should be serialized as strings, not
                    type/number structures.
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: WikidataRepo

Currently, EntityIdValues are represented in JSON as pairs of entitiy types and
numeric ids. There is no eay for a client to mak this to a prefixed id or URL.
Instead, we should always use the prefixed ID form (e.g. "Q1234") to represent
an entity ID externally (and probably also in the internal serialization).

Of course, we must keep accepting the old form as input. Otherwise, we would be
unable to process serializations from existing revisions.
