The proof is the paper I cited is not correct as I mention in the PR. But it except for requiring US (giving $U$ open), it works completely, so I dont think we need to write it down again?

Also added metaproperty for WFC (intersect weak base $V$ with subspace to get $V'$. Clearly topology induced by this is not coarser than normal subspace topology, for converse suppose $Z \subseteq Y \subseteq X$ is open wrt weak basis in $Y$, then for each $x$ in $Z$ take $n$ big enough such that $V_n(x) \subseteq Y$ and $V'_n(x)\subseteq Z$, then clearly $V_n(x)\subseteq Z$, so $Z$ is open in $X$)

Siwiec says in section 1.7 "The Hausdorff axiom will be assumed in all that follows."
So it's not that the author erroneously does not require US; he assumes even more. We should rephrase something.

US suffices for this statement. The proof is same as T628.

I know US is sufficient. What I am saying is that we need to rephrase the justification to something like:
"the author makes the blanket assumption that spaces are Hausdorff (see section 1.7), but it is sufficient to assume US."
or something like that.

Siwiec Prop. 1.9 mentions that P228 is hereditary wrt closed sets. Can you check if it's easy to see? If so, we could add that metaprop. as well.

Yes it is. Just like P104, is open or closed hereditary (not marked in pi-base).

Yeah, we can add the same metaprops to P104 (symmetrizable).
