TASK DESCRIPTION
The following was reported on the contact the dev team page:
Using {{#Property: on non-existing properties gives an error message on
fr:Wikipédia:Wikidata/Bac à sable. Given the content of the message, I don't
think it is intentional. --Zolo (talk) 11:25, 17 January 2015 (UTC) clarified
--Zolo (talk) 10:40, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
You can transclude property by label, {{#property:nature de l'élément}}.
--JulesWinnfield-hu (talk) 16:56, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
It may be a good idea, to warn that the property could not be found but
this sort of message looks buggish. --Zolo (talk) 10:43, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
THanks for bringing it up. Do you have a suggestion for what would
be better there? --Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk) 15:00, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
The "property not found for label P373" part (preferably
translated) might have been clearer without the "rendering failure" part but I
am not sure using error message is the best solution. The most likely reason
for this sort of issue is that the property was relabelled/deleted. No big deal
for the article, some info will be lost, but thhre is no need for a big red
message that only a few can understand. Adding an "invalid property" tracker
category sounds like a better approach. Those who don't know about these
technical things won't be bothered, and those who do will find problematic
pages more easily. With the current system, the issue can hardly be found using
the search enging. This particular case was spotted only because an
administrator -with some technical background- could not make sense of the
message and notified it on fr:Discussion Wikipédia:Wikidata. --Zolo (talk)

Can we improve how the client by default handles deleted properties?
