Showing only the label is not good, because it's ambiguous. This is not just a
theoretical problem, but rather nasty in practice: There are a lot of units
that have the same name but are slightly different - or also refer to something
of a similar name.
For example, imagine someone picked "pint" as a unit. They wanted Q11123, but
they accidentally picked Q20429. Someone notices this and fixes the mistake.
What does the diff of that edit look like? If we just show the label, the edit
is invisible, because both items have the same label ("pint"). That's not good
at all...
Showing the label in the diff helps, but we need to show it along with the Q-id
or URI, or at least the description. Otherwise it's ambiguous and may lead to
confusion.
