Hi Josephine,

this depends on the values defined in the template itself:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2021&action=edit
- Australia doesn't exist (yet), but IE does.

I must say though that this kind of upload circumvents the categorisation
work and assigning the correct heritage ID that is currently done in quite
a few countries. Wikidata-Items with a linked commons category are easy,
but the majority of objects will not have its own category and just dumping
them in a WLM category puts the workload on other people. There are
countries where the template accepts the Wikidata-ID, but ideally the
upload link would use the country's wlm capaign and assign the heritage ID
as a parameter.

BR,
Philip
