Thanks Maarten, that's a very useful answer.

Hi Richard,
Please send messages to the list. I'll reply inline.

Is there a way to narrow down which category images are put into? With
thousands of uploads, even categories such as 'Grade I listed building in
Fooshire' can quickly fill up.
Yes, of course, some listed buildings will even have their own category.
You can build a whole tree structure for that. We have people and bots who
can help to build such a structure.

work and will it work if a name different to the page title is specified in
the template?
You can use {{Commons category}} on a list page to tell the bot that
everything in the list should go into a certain category on Commons. It
expects one parameter with the name of the category on Commons, I'm not
sure if without parameter works. You can see that in action at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Grade_B%2B_listed_buildings_in_County….
That will send the images to
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Grade_B%2B_listed_buildings_in_….
It's also possible to add the field "commonscat" to a single list entry. I
did that at
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Grade_B%2B_listed_buildi…68929968.
If someone now uploads a monument with id "HB16/28/018 A", the bot will
put it in
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:ArmaghDown_Bridge,_Newry
Bot will always takes more specific so the logic is: 1. Single row 2. List
page 3. The category the list is in
