Hi all!

As announced earlier, Freedom of Panorama comes into force coming Friday 15 July 2016.



According to Belgian law, a law change comes into force on the 10th day after the publication in the Belgian journal (Belgisch Staatsblad / Moniteur belge).  (source: fr/nl)

Publication took place on 5 July 2016. (source: fr/nl)


Some things need to be updated Friday:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:NoFoP-Belgium
And created:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:FoP-Belgium
similar to Template:FoP-Nederland and others in 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.

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!
