I'm wondering what will happen if the label of a property is changed, e.g.
The wiki article Foo is
Spain is on {{#property:continent}}.

And someone changed "continent" to "earth continent". After the change, what will be rendered in article Foo?

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
