::Sabine is referring to the [[Template:Infobox Company|template]] itself where 'founded' is a required element. As you say, one '''''can still''''' choose whether or not to use a [[Centiare:Semantic_tagging|semantic attribute]] within any of the templates/infoboxes. In this case, founded is required because potential customers typically want to be able to determine the number of years an entity has been in business. I would suggest that Sabine use a general date if a specific date is not available at this time. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 07:14, 13 January 2007 (PST)

:::Whoops, I forgot that in some Infoboxes, certain elements are required, or rather, even in their absence of data the field label will still show up. Yes, it seems that either "living with" the empty appearance of the label, or filling in an estimated date, are the only solutions (other than Centiare modifying the template to not require this field). --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 07:44, 13 January 2007 (PST)
