This "commonscat" in the table refers to the "commonscat of the monument", not the commonscat of the list.
I've been filling locally this paramater with a bot. The logic is: checking the categories of the images in the list, if any of them is a subcategoy of the "commonscat of the list" then probably this is the "commonscat of the monument". If the monument has an article linked, the commonscat of the article is fine as well.
