- Motivation
When I have designed templates on Wikipedia, I surprisingly discovered that this was missing. -- Innocent bystander (talk) 14:31, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
- Discussion
I also add "organisations" as domain since I know that large organisations in Suomi/Finland has special designed "postal towns". For example "Varma" for Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Company (Q16916495) and "Skatt" (Swedish) or "Vero" (Finnish) for the Finnish national tax authority. -- Innocent bystander (talk) 14:31, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
- I don't think the current description explains the meaning of the property adequately. I would also like more examples. ChristianKl (talk) 09:45, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Well, I think you find all the examples you should need in the articles connected to post town (Q1968403) or post town (Q24700892), which were displayed here before somebody edited the page. -- Innocent bystander (talk) 20:10, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- An example: In sv:Hemsjö, Alingsås kommun you now see that

Support Danrok (talk) 19:20, 26 November 2017 (UTC)- Support I thought this was proposed before, but can't find the previous discussion. Anyway, yes, let's support proper structuring of mailing addresses. ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:33, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
