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.

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/Statistics&action=history)
* 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/Categorization/Statistics&action=history)
* 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/Categorization/Statistics
you'll see the top "offenders":
* About 17.000 images in
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Cultural_heritage_monuments_in_Italy
* About 3.700 images in
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Cultural_heritage_monuments_in_Jordan
* About 2.000 images in
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Cultural_heritage_monuments_in_China
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/Statistics
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
