WLM-UK uploads using incorrect template parameter #30

Copy of my email to Paweł, 4 September 2018. Repeating it here, as the issue still needs looking at. Another example from later on in the contest is is File:Scotland - St Clement's Church - 20180410131840.jpg

We still seem to have a problem with some UK uploads, separate from the date issue. Monumental is using an incorrect parameter gb in the {{Wiki Loves Monuments 2018}} template which it adds to each page. It always seems to be using {{Wiki Loves Monuments 2018|gb}} which gives the error message No or incorrect country code indicated in the {{Wiki Loves Monuments 2018}} template, and adds the category Images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2018 in an unknown country.

gb on its own is not a valid parameter, and one of the following needs to be used depending on which of the four UK campaigns is relevant:

gb-wls (Wales)
gb-nir (Northern Ireland)
gb-eng (England)
gb-sct (Scotland)

Here are three recent examples from Northern Ireland:
