I’ve fixed a few bugs related to how artwork attributes are shown on the website:
- Make sure dates are shown in a more readable format
- Don’t show link to city if the marker is not linked to a city

Under what circumstances can a marker be added that isn’t linked to a city? My understanding was that for hunters they are always linked to a city and that for artists they get placed in a “nearby” city if the city does not exist.
That’s correct; when an artist adds an artwork, we try to find an existing city that is closest to the address entered.
But importantly, we only link the artwork to that city if it’s less than 150km away from the center point of that city.
If there’s no existing city within 150km, the artwork won’t have a city defined, and will show up as ‘orphaned’ in the System reports section of the community notes overview in the dashboard.
There was a suggestion recently that we added a city automatically when an artwork is added by an artist - I’ve checked the code, and this is not currently the case.
Hope that helps!
