Betreff: Re: [Wikidata-l] data inclusion by lables is now available on Wikipedias and time datatype is getting closer

Not to stick beans up my nose, but does this mean that if I change P30's English label to something other than "continent", #property:content will break in all templates using it?

I think for simple testing uses the label will be fine, but since it can change, for template usage it seems safer to just refer to it by it's ID.

Heya folks :)

I just wanted to let you know that it is now possible to include data
from Wikidata using the property's label (not just the ID). So in
essence this means that you can for example use
{{#property:continent}} instead of {{#property:P30}} if you don't want
to remember the ID there. Both of these would return "Europe" if used
in the article about Spain for example.

In related good news: The time datatype has progressed very well and
we expect to be able to deploy it next week. However it'd be awesome
if you could help test it on the demo system
(http://wikidata-test-repo.wikimedia.de/wiki) to make sure we have not
missed any major issues. Help with translations on translatewiki.net
would also be most excellent.


Cheers
Lydia
