Hi Maarten, thank you very much for the clarification, that helps a lot!
Just a question since this was raised a couple of days ago on the discussion page for WLM: If this method is used, is it necessary that the monuments list the database table was imported from is the very same list that's actually on Wikipedia? Or is it possible to have a complete list for one state somewhere else and use a couple of table-based lists in the article namespace? As far as I understand, that's not possible, right? I'm asking because there are some guys who'd rather stick with their script-generated table-based-lists...

Have lots of Commonscat links to help the bot.
