As background: Josephine is working on the
commons app.
Josephine, what you're looking for is something machine readable. The
template could work, but an easier way for you may be to somehow get to the
content of this page:
That is also more sustainable for future campaigns. It may be
occasionally a bit out of date, but generally is correct.
Best,
Lodewijk

Hi Josephine,
The list of participating countries can be found here -
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2021/Partic…
The template (
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2021)
is not also updated according the list mentioned above. Looks like, it is
just a copy of previous year's competition and needs update. Australia is
still not willing to participate in the competition this year, so maybe it
will not end up in this template.
Regards,
Bodhisattwa
