Re: Proposal to add ARCHON Number as a Wikidata property

I have to admit that I can’t see any relation between ISIL (assigned by the BL in the UK, other orgs internationally) and ARCHON (assigned by TNA, UK only I think?). 

Wikidata already supports the ISIL property https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P791

Obviously both ISIL and ARCHON IDs could be added to web pages using the pattern Richard described
