Add a field to store the wikidata value for each entry in Marine Traffic

Wikidata is Wikipedia's database and it often has lots of useful information and links above and beyond what Marine Traffic has.

For example, it has 18,633 records about things with an MMSI and 50,398 about things with an IMO

Could a field be added to marine traffic for people to add in the wikidata id

You could even have a bot that scans the mmsi and IMO wikidata has and import the id to the relevant record, you could even push a little data into it too as a thank you. 

For example, their ID for the QE2 is Q1244204

You can see the data raw at 

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1244204

Or converted into plain English at
