The largest lists on nl-wiki where around 1200 or 1600 monuments (400-600kb)> with on a
regular computer loading times form 30-100 sec. I tried once to make the list from
amsterdam as 1 to split it up (7000 monuments). But every time you tried visiting it your
browsers crashed. The lines for the tables in the dutch wiki where generated with a robot.
Then we had them sorted by city, and with a little programm we generated the municipality
lists. Then by hand we putted them al in lists on the dutch wiki. Taking around 10-30
minutes per list. Mainly al the links from the cityarticles and redirects took the most
time. After that loads of people have filled in missing information. Building dates and
Object descriptions.
there you can find
a counter which collects the data from the lists, so that you can see where there is work
to be done. (at bottom of the page is most interessting data. If you have any questions
about dutch structure of lists, or how we tackled other problems on the dutch project:
feel free to ask.

Hi,
if it is possible to create it, it is impossible to load it without
craching your browser.
In NL we split up the table to a municipality level, and where
possible even further. In some cities we even ended up on street
level. As long as there is a good category and linking structure, that
should be doable and scalable. Does that answer your question?

Hi,
I dont know if this is in scope with Commons - but if it is, be bold
and do it there (I'll leave that question to the commons specialists).
Otherwise you could of course do the same taking one language as core
project and copying it to the others from there - but I can imagine
that is politically sensitive.
I would suggest to add some more information in the templates, even
though you dont have that info yet. For example: year that the
building was built, architect and address. If you dont have the info,
leave it blank, but then people can add the info if they like.
I am just wondering if it is technically possible to create a
wiki-table with 60 000 entries (or more - as in Germany as I remember
the list has 250 000 + entries) - and even if it is technically
possible - effective maintaining and browsing such a table is going to
be really hard... I guess - if geotagging is available it would be
more clever to organise a POI-style data-base which could be used as a
slice on Google maps and/or OSM. One could then choose of his/her
starting point and see on the map all monuments.
