I know the Italian team is a bit confused, I don't know what we know. 
Thanks for the patience. For sure I don't understand the instructions, 
see

AFAICS, User:Yiyi has specified a category for most monuments in the 
latest Wikipedia lists, e.g. 
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progetto:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2015/Monumenti/Basilicata 
.

Of course that's fine if it can help solve issues in the short term.

That may be sad, but hardly weird. I wonder if you remember that lists 
of monuments can't be in main namespace on the Italian Wikipedia, so no 
automatic usage is possible.

Probably. :)

Why is it strange? AFAICS all the others have a template to generate 
rows of monument lists tables. The current one is 
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:WLM2015-riga . We use new 
templates and new lists every year because the authorised monuments vary 
every year.
