Hoi,
YES !! It is almost certain that this will not consistently work for any
and all languages and it will result in confusion at best. Relying on an ID
is easily understood.
Thanks,

Which one is more readable and internationalized,
{{#property:syntymäaika}} or {{#property:P569}} ?
The former makes reading and reusing templates from other wikis much
harder.
If there is consensus to not use human readable
property names for
accessing
data, and solely rely on IDs instead, we could indeed stop all this right
now,
and just drop the uniqueness constraint for labels as well as for aliases
of
properties.
Yes!
You are right that changing the name of a
property shouldn't be as easy
as it
currently is. There should at least be a warning.
