MediaWiki's PHPCS plugin requires documentation comments on all
methods, unless those methods are fully typed (all parameters and
return value).
It turns out that almost all of our methods are fully typed already.
Procedure:
1. Find: \*(\s*\*\s*(@param \??[\w\\]+(\|null)? &?\$\w+|@return \??[\w\\]+(\|null)?)\n)+\s*\*/
Replace with: */
This deletes type annotations, except those not representable
as PHP type hints such as union types `a|b` or typed arrays `a[]`,
or those with documentation beyond type hints, or those on
functions with any other annotations.
2. Find: /\*\*/\n\s*
Replace with nothing
This deletes the remaining comments on methods that had no prose
documentation.
3. Undo all changes that PHPCS complains about (those comments
were not redundant)
4. Review the diff carefully, these regexps are imprecise :)
