I can easily say for a well covered monument it would be at least:
- Wikipedia pages on the Monument, Author, Location, Time of making
(ideally in at least 2 languages, possibly in two styles like EN & Simple)
- Commons page as a Gallery of related images, audio, video...3D model?
(ideally in higher and lower resolutions)
- Wikispore page with non-encyclopedic info on location and/or contexts
(ideally artistic, social and geographic focuses)

Yes I think we need to consider other ways of wiki making.
Maybe fed.wiki.org could also be interesting to experiment with.
