Hi Platonides,
You tool is now working beautifully and very helpful to us in identifying incomplete/invalid submission. I was suggested earlier by Bas to use it by it was not displaying IDs and was not up to date with new submissions.
I have created a template and placed
== [[Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013_in_Thailand/th|WLM in Thailand]] == {{Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2013 in Thailand/th/MID request}} --~~~~
to user talk pages. It is not a huge work at the moment (for Thailand) but it might be a good idea for other countries with large volume of submissions to try to do this by a bot.
P.S. You are welcome to add your language(s) to the template, if you feel like to :-) There are submissions from a Japanese and I am not sure whether s/he gets my messages. If you have created a similar template and want a translation into Thai, we will be happy to assist too.
Regards, taweethaも

It looks that the ID is still not required:
- upload without ID (without any desreption):

I can make the bot automatically leave for your country a "You haven't provided an id" template to the uploader but under your own responsability. Do you really want to reprimend the user because he placed a space instead of a dash in the identifier?
However, I find Kaew proposal of preparing a template for notificating "You forgot the id" a very good idea, as that can offer a more prepared explanation than the quick one made up by the notifier.
If you choose the wording carefully it isn't a reprimand, but a warning that there picture doesn't compete in the competition, because a valid ID is required. If you then link to the helpdesk so they can ask for help, and of course link to documentation where they can find the information, this can even be seen positive.

Andre
