I found that writing a comment in the id field label of the upload
wizard drastically reduced the number of incorrect id's last year.
See e.g.

So assuming your id's always take a similar format you could just
say something like "should be numbers and look like XX-XXX-XXXX"
I'd like to do this to the colombian wizard. Can someone who can
edit
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Mwe-upwiz-campaigns-wlm-co-id/… help
me with that? The new text would be "Código del monumento (ver las
listas; son 5 dígitos: XX-XXX)".
Thanks.
Note that some people will make up the identifiers. People making a
honest mistake in the id lead to errors simple to fix. The most common
'mistake' last year was people providing "XX-XXX - XXXX" instead of
"XX-XXX-XXXX" (the way we expected it). Very simple to fix, it was even
coded in the bot.
OTOH people who made up identifiers led to unfixable entries. I asked
some about the list they took the identifier from (hey, maybe they even
found a new heritage monuments list?). No answer, of course.
This year I used in the examples a fake id made up from consecutive
digits, but also ensuring there was no monument with that id assigned,
to easily spot fraudsters. Well, or simply dumb people :P

Racso, if you don't have such id, I'd use instead "(ver las listas, por
ejemplo: 12-345)". You provide the id format with an example, and people
just wanting to bypass the form get an identifier to pass it (which we
can automately disqualify).
