This project page describes the actions around the monuments of the Brussels-Capital Region.

Purpose

[edit]

To have all monuments of Brussels added to Wikidata with their monument identifier.

History and background

[edit]

Since 2010 the photo contest Wiki Loves Monuments is organised, since 2011 also in Belgium. Participants search for the specific monument they have photographed in the lists of monuments. The data of these lists is also available in the monuments database. Based on this monuments database various tools/bots are running. With the Wiki Loves Monuments team meeting in February 2017 it was decided to move the contents of the monuments database step by step to Wikidata.

In 2018 followed the import of the monuments of the German-speaking Community in Wikidata.
