[Wiki Loves Monuments] Unused image and commonscat template on it.wiki

Hi everybody,

as I wrote in a previous thread on it.wiki the {{commonscat}} template
has been replaced with the more general {{interprogetto}} template. As
of now {{commonscat}} is deprecated on it.wiki, being kept only for
compatibility purposes. That said, though, the template doesn't work
as the versions on it.wiki or fr.wiki accepting only one paramtere
(namely the name of the commons category) and thus there is no way to
change the visualized text which renders the template ugly to put in
the lists.

I have asked for a change, but there is strong consensus against the
reintroduction of {{commonscat}}, moreover it has been noted that the
{{commonscat}} template is deprecated/redirect also on en.wiki and
fr.wiki:
* can the bot be changed to accept the name of the template to search?
(in it.wiki's case {{interprogetto}})
* if not, there is some alternative way to obtain the statistics
provided by that bot?

I have asked the adaptation of {{commoscat}} to follow the same
specifics as in en.wiki (while it will remain deprecated) as a
temporary measure while adapting the bot.

Can all this work?
Thanks in advance for your help,

Cristian
