Both approaches are posible: to subcategorize them manually or to help the bot to do it
botically. The last one is more efficient en the long term.
How-to:
1. Add to the file the monument template with the identifier. If it does not correspond to
any monument listed, remove the file from the main categoy of monuments.
2. Add the template {{Commonscat}} to the list where the monument is listed. Usually it is
the category for monuments of a city or region.
3. If the monument has its own category, add the parameter commonscat=, or similar, in the
row template for the monument. If your row template does not have such parameter, consider
to add it. It can be usuful for a "see more pics" link or, at least, it is
useful for a precise categorization by ErfgoedBot.

BTW, I am not sure how it works if the template commonscat has its parameter migrated to
Wikidata.

Hi Maarten,
Thanks for the update. Just to make sure people understand what exactly needs to happen to
these categories: as I understand it, they should be bumped down at least one level to a
region? Or could people help in a more structured way, by connecting the identifiers with
the right category, somehow? What is the most intelligent approach in the current setup?
Best,Lodewijk

Thank you Jean-Fred and Maarten \o/
Thanks Pierre-Selim and other. Seems to be becoming a bit of a tradition to have a sprint
last week of August to get stuff fixed again. I'm quite happy Jean-Fred picked up the
role of maintainer.
The current status is:
* Update database runs, but some sources (countries) need to be updated and fixed
(
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Monuments_database/…)
* Categorization bot seems to work again. I see a lot of files being categorized a couple
of days ago
(
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Monuments_database/…)
* Unused images bot is still broken, but I found the source of the problem and looks easy
to fix (
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T110829)
I was fixing stuff but toollabs just died. I hope it will be back online later this
afternoon so I can get some of the bugs fixed.
Every year the categorization bot gets overloaded. Right now it has about 30.000 images it
can't categorize. That means that every day it runs it goes through the same 30.000
images and can't to anything. That's quite a waste of resources and time. If you
look at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Categorizatio…
you'll see the top "offenders":
* About 17.000 images in
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Cultural_heritage_monuments_in_…
* About 3.700 images in
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Cultural_heritage_monuments_in_…
* About 2.000 images in
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Cultural_heritage_monuments_in_…
I know quite a few people from Italy are on this list. Italian folks, could you please
spend some time on emptying out this category? With the current backlog me or Jean-Fred
are probably just going to disable the bot for Italy because it slows down everything.
Italy is also high on
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Unused_images… so
I wonder if everything is set up correctly for Italy. Looks like a bit of a mess to me.
Why do we even have
