Several people have asked me for a way to view the most photographed monuments.
This tool is now implemented http://toolserver.org/~platonides/wlm/monuments.php
The most photographed monument from all countries* is Colombian 06-050, with more than 2000 photos. Although that identifier spans the old sector of the city of Tunja, so it's not really fair to compare it with 'conventional monuments' with are a statue or a building.
* Disclaimer: If your country doesn't use identifiers or removes the identifiers from the description page, it is obviosuly not properly represented there.

Thanks, it looks great.
I meant to ask you sooner: how do you decide if a code is wrong (I suppose this is what a red code means)? For instance, at http://toolserver.org/~platonides/wlm/uploads.php?id=MM-II-m-A-04431.02&... I see one blue code and 5 red codes, but as far as I can tell, all of the images there have the same code, which appears in the list.

I consider they "good" if they appear in the monuments db for that country. In this case, it seems to have been added in the middle of the competition. It wasn't in the database when the first 4 photos were added (thus they showed it red), but it was when processing the last one. I have refreshed them, so they are all blue now.

As counting the number of photographs gives too weight to a big uploaders (single users sending hundreds of photos of the same monument) and large monuments (those where you take a lot of photos eg. Versailles > Eiffel Tower), I implemented a second mode, using instead the number of photographers. And the worldwide winner is... Indian Monument N-UP-A28-a, also known as Taj Mahal, of which 114 different users uploaded a photo in Wiki Loves Monuments 2012.
Thank you for the awesome tool! Can you make a GET variable that lets us also display monuments with no photos? Or any other convenient way to do this? (If not that's OK ;) )
Thanks, —Yan (Ynhockey).

Monuments with no photos do not have, by definition, files uploaded in Wikimedia Commons. Erfgoedbot keeps a list of them, though. So it isn't much needed.
