Hi, the starting year of an activity is marked as required - but I don't have that information for many businesses where I have the basic data to be put online. Also many companies here in town would probably like to be in the directory, but for now don't have e-mail and website. How to deal with these? Thanks! --[[User:SabineCretella|SabineCretella]] 03:54, 13 January 2007 (PST)

:In cases where you have allowed for a semantic attribute for which you have no data, you have two simple choices:
:# You can leave the data field blank, and the attribute will not render in the page. (Probably your best choice, if you anticipate that one day you '''will''' have the data, and you'll come back and complete it.)
:# You can remove the attribute altogether. It won't hurt any infobox to remove an attribute element. (Probably a good choice, if you believe that the attribute is irrelevant and/or that you'll never obtain that data point.)
:I hope that this helps answer your question! --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 06:26, 13 January 2007 (PST)
