Motivation edit
It's another one of those: I'm surprised this wasn't already a thing- things. Just kind of makes sense for having this info. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 21:06, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
Discussion edit
- @MJL: EU VAT number (P3608) exists, though not all your examples work there.--GZWDer (talk) 11:04, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
- @GZWDer: I just added aliases to it, so it's easier to find. I'm generally not the most familiar with Wikidata processes, so is having a discussion this discussion still worth having? –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 18:05, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
- @MJL: if you are satisfied with EU VAT number (P3608) then we can indeed close this discussion as withdrawn (which I am doing now). Feel free to reopen if I misunderstood your intention. − Pintoch (talk) 12:44, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
