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.

I'd be out of line bypassing her on this.

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

I just don't take your word for it being sufficient for the community.
