What is Updating Unknown Tags?

Members will be able to change tags marked as “unknown,” updating them to complete the information known about each image of sign or lettering.

For example: if member X submits an image, but doesn’t know the time period the sign was created in, member Y can change the unknown tag, updating the information about the sign/lettering in our database.
