Hi! I've just opened phab:T310981 and I found in Wikidata:Bot_requests/Archive/2021/11#request_to_automate_marking_preferred_rank_for_full_dates._(2021-05-28) (I had a vague memory of it) that you said that @MatSuBot: merged such dates differing between 00-00 and 01-01. Does it still do it? Which is the format that it chooses in merging? And of course feel free to comment on Phab. Thanks a lot!

Hi! Yes, the bot still does it (unless the SPARQL queries start to time out). It has no preferred format. It prefers claims with sources (this involves less write operations), otherwise the choice is incidental.
I briefly reopen this for a quick clarification: does your bot clean only date of birth (P569) and date of death (P570) or all the properties containing values with datatype "date"? I have just found two cases to be cleaned in Nicholas of Frankfurt (Q46494496) at work period (start) (P2031) and work period (end) (P2032) and they seem to be there since the end of June. Thanks as always!
Yes, only these two properties. But that's a parameter that I can change.
