Some things need to be updated Friday:

And created:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:FoP-Belgium
similar to Template:FoP-Nederland
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:FoP-Nederland> and others
in Category:FoP
templates <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:FoP_templates>.
About 1411 images that have been deleted on Commons as result of no Freedom
of Panorama, need to be restored - similar to Public Domain Day
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Domain_Day>.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Belgian_FOP_cases
Please make sure you categorise the restored files, which can mean that the
category needs to be restored too.
Based on the deletion log I will collect the restored images, similar to
Public Domain Day.
For those in Belgium (or close), be welcome to join our launch event in
Brussels:

Thanks all!
