Great, this is a nice improvement. The parameter is usefull in lists for a link to
"see more photos of this monument" and it facilitates a more precise
categorization of new photos.

Subject: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Commons categories now in the database
Hi everyone,
I noticed quite a few Wikipedia's included a Commons link in their
monument lists (almost 40.000 entries at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Statistics).
I went ahead and included a new field "commonscat" for each entry in the
main table. For existing entries I mapped it, for all the other lists I
added commonscat as a field. It's now being used by the categorization bot.
For example with
https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lijst_van_rijksmonumenten_aan_de…
I told the bot that all images with id "5940" should be put in
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Nieuwe_Kerk_%28Amsterdam%29
. I haven't actually changed the template at the Dutch Wikipedia yet,
that's something for later.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Categorizatio…
has been updated.
Maarten
