Hi Maarten,

Can you please explain the latest actions of your bots? I'm talking
about the ones labeled:
* "Adding template Monument istorice based on usage in list" - I think
I know what this is, but the run seems to be incomplete so I would
like a more detailed explanation
* "Robot: Automated text replacement (-^(.+)$ +\1\nCategory:Historical
monuments in Bucharest)" - that is not at all clear to me;

Both seem to be happening to other countries as well.

Thanks,
  Strainu

I think the first one I know. If a photo is used in the list but does not the Monument istorice template, the bot goes to Commons and inserts the template to the file (the template has the number which is used in the list; no other files get the template even if they are identical). It often helps to identify pictures which are used in the lists in one Wikipedia but not in the other. For Romanian lists, if they only exist in Romanian Wikipedia, this is not expected to have an impact (but will help if you ever translate the lists and use them in another project).

For the second one, I have no idea.

BTW, Maarten, do you plan to put coordinates? For my pictures of the Netherlands I did not add the coordinates because I knew last year your bot added them. For Belgium, I was not sure and added the coordinates. I am also planning to add pictures of some other countries, so that it would be good to know if the coordinates sometime will be added by bot.

I'm doing some clean up. First I try to add identifier templates to as many images as possible because that's the basis of all magic.

Based on that I have been working on improving and expanding the automatic categorization. While doing that I ran into a lot of countries that needed some extra attention:
* In the US I added over 2000 Commonscat links
* https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Historical_monuments_in_Romania contained over 6000 images, I sorted that out. Also someone created a template that categorized images. That's frowned upon at Commons so I added the images directly to the category and fixed the template.

You can see my progress at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Categorization and you can improve this categorization process by adding {{Commonscat}} links at the lists to the corresponding Commons category.

As for the adding of coordinates. That is next on my list after the categorization.

Maarten
