Topic on Talk:Wikibase/Notes/Inclusion syntax

The page now says, like: "... specify |from= either by Q-ID or by their label in the wiki's content (?) language".

Question 1: My tests showed that one can not specify an item by its 'label' (=the article name in the example enwiki, we understand).

<pre>

{{#property:P17|from=Italy}}

</pre>

should show {{#property:P17|from=Italy}}

Question 2: If I'm wrong (it does work well), should we remove the question mark?

(-edit-: talkpage code shows different from my habit).

Yes you can not specify the item there by its label. This is because many items can have the same label. The labels of properties are unique.

Thanks.
