Use for referencing a plaque's entry on Open Plaques, the international Open Data register of commemorative plaques.
Usage
Use the so called machine tag on the plaque's website at openplaques.org as an OSM-Tag exactly as it is shown on the website.
Generally best used with historic=memorial with a required memorial=plaque, and an optional appropriate inscription=* and/ or name=*.
Note that Open Plaques collects markers that state or imply that the subject was physically at the marked location at a particular time in the past. For example, this excludes a memorial inside a church (except where they make a point that 'Xyz worshipped here'), a road named after someone famous who did not actually live there, and items (statues, clocks, plaques, etc.) commemorating a monarch's anniversary (where the monarch is not visiting the town to unveil it). There is also an exclusion on building 'foundation stones'.
