Correction: We are only using the PT prefix for IDs attributed for WMPT.
When it's the monument ID, we give a prefix related to the ID used: SIPA,
DGPC, etc.
To descomplicate things, we are now simply using PT- QXXX (example:
PT-Q99463700) for listed monuments not having a specific or clear monument
ID.

Best,
Paulo
