Only curious.

The "Alternate names" part on a point.

There is the possibility to put the places in foreign languages of course, and I noticed there could also be postal codes and links. So

Should the postal code be in national or international code format, as in Finland "#####" or "FI-#####". I understand that both could be good. In one way the "FI-#####" should be good, or if I do a search it's enough with the "#####". It probably gets too much if there is both.

And, the link, I read somewhere that there should only be wikipedia links, if that's so, is it only english, or could there be many languages?

And...
Is there any more "good to know" alternate name possibilities?

Please use "#####" for postal code.

Wikipedia links preferably in english, but you can add some links in other languages.
