[Wiki Loves Monuments] Moving monuments database to Wikidata

[Andre Koopal]

It is not just launching the bot, it is rewriting. So we need somebody with
python coding skills. As far as I know it needs to be transfered from
compat to core.

If needed I can give people access to the project on toollabs.

Regards,

André
