Hello,

For the Portuguese monuments we are using P2186 with a value prefixed by PT
(to avoid ID conflicts) and followed by:
* A monument ID, when there is one
* An unique ID given by ourselves, when it's not practical to use the
monument ID, or when there is no monument ID at all
in addition to that, we have a number of specific monument IDs, but we
don't use them directly for WLM or WLE (and it was a mistake to even
attempt to use them initially, it only brought a lot of confusion)

Personally, I support uniformization in P2186,  using country prefixes or
some other strategy, in addition to any specific monument that may exist.

Best,
Paulo
