Might be part of the reason that the italian template uses "| comcat="
instead of "|commonscat=" in their template? For example, I came across this
file
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Galata_in_atto_di_cadere,_copia_romano_imperiale_di_un_originale_di_Pergamo,_datato_tra_la_fine_del_III_e_la_met%C3%A0_del_II_sec._a.C.,_restauri_cinquecenteschi_di_Tiziano_Aspetti,_da_Roma,_(1).JPG>
in
the category, which is on this list
<https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progetto:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2015/Monumenti/Veneto>
and
has already a commonscat. Is my understanding correct that normally, it
should not be in the category
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Cultural_heritage_monuments_in_Italy&filefrom=g>any
more?

Hello!
Some experienced volunteers in Austria would like to help with the
categories for Italy.
Maybe they should have a partner in Italy, to not provide needless
categorizations.

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.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Categorization
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
