The OCLC identifier is present on a great many IA files and it's somewhat useful, bibliographically speaking, for matching scans to editions.
Notably, Fæ's uploads include this.

I wonder if IA Upload should create a Wikidata item as well, where we could store that stuff?

Hmmm, I'm not sure people take enough care over the metadata in the general case to make that a good idea. Perhaps a secondary tool to go from Commons file-with-{{Book}} to Wikidata might make more sense? Also does any of it also/otherwise live in Commons SDC?
The good thing about having an OCLC is that that's a good key for future WD efforts (though because the OCLC id is usually for the digital item, it's not as easy as all that)

Good points! And the patch is nice and simple too (look at me, trying to over-complicate things as usual… :-P )
