Hi Maarten,
thank you very much for the clarification, that helps a lot!
Just a question since this was raised a couple of days ago on the discussion
page for WLM: If this method is used, is it necessary that the monuments
list the database table was imported from is the very same list that's
actually on Wikipedia? Or is it possible to have a complete list for one
state somewhere else and use a couple of table-based lists in the article
namespace? As far as I understand, that's not possible, right?
I'm asking because there are some guys who'd rather stick with their
script-generated table-based-lists...
Best regards,
Kilian

Good question! The assumption is that each monument has an unique id.
I'll take the Rijksmonumenten as example again:
* Get an image
* find the id ({{rijksmonument|<id>}}
* look in the database what list the id is in
* look for a commonscat template in the list and use that
Commonscategory to categorize the image
* if the list article doesn't contain a commons link, look in the
categories in which the list is categorized for links to Commons
How can you help? Have lots of Commonscat links to help the bot.
