Yes.. I personally agree with you in 100%. I was even arguing to not
do this in that way, but I failed to persuade our fellow Polish
commoners. They decided several years ago to do it in that way -
before WLM started and they are very bound to this idea,
unfortunately.

I think it should be taken evrything from the field "$2" + code of
voivodship ($1). In our heritage template:

{{zabytek|$1|$2|$3}}

$1 = code of viovodship
$2 = ID
$3 = exact name of place where the monument is located

for example:

{{zabytek|SL|A- 397/86 z 5.06.1986|Częstochowa}}

The wizzard was forcing people to fill $1 and $2.


ID can have many different structures - usually it is the number +
date but not always - so the best is just to take them as they are.
The mess with id's is not our fault - they were simpy copied from the
xls documents as provided by our National Heritage Institute. I know
that the Institute is actually working on implementation of a new
system of monument's IDs to make them unique and simpler but God knows
when they will do it..
