start_date=*

Status: in use

old_start_date=* can be used to indicate the date a feature opened originally, not in the current position or form.


Examples

  • A statue was moved to a different place, use old_start_date=* for the date of its original creation, use start_date=* when it was moved to the new position.
  • Historic monument was rebuilt after a war, use old_start_date=* for the date of its original construction, use start_date=* when it was reconstructed.

Alternative tagging

This key never went through a proposal process, so alternative undocumented tags exist.
