Hoi, Either you accept the consensus or you don't.
Where is that consensus? Five people on a mailing list is hardly representative. Is there a "do not use labels to access properties" consensus across the client sites? I'd be happy to learn about it.
Hiding behind Lydia is not graceful.
I'm not hiding behind her, I'm aknowledging her prerogative as a product owner. I'd be out of line bypassing her on this.
How often is it necessary to indicate that you CAN show "localised names" as long as they are the labels used in Wikidata and as long as they come witha text we have the needed functionality.
Sure, for display, that's fine. For widgets on wikidata, too. We were dicussing readability of wikitext, though.
It is just not the solution you have been looking for is it.. BUT it does satisfy our and Lydia's needs. Wonderful right?
Using P-numbers in wikitext is not the solution I have been looking for?
If it's sufficient for the community, I'm happy with it. It means exactly zero work for me. It would allow me to throw out some not-so-pretty code. Yay!
I just don't take your word for it being sufficient for the community.
