Hey, valid questions there. There are a couple of different things in your post, let me try to break it down:
-
Artworks that are painted over, are no longer active. So they should be removed from the active map. This means the status of the artwork needs to be changed from
ActivetoRemoved. This can be done without consent from the original hunter; if an artwork is no longer there, it is no longer there. The artwork can then still be found in searches and on the artists page, but will no longer be shown on the map.Please do not delete the artwork by using the
Permanently removebutton, but change the status as said. Deleting is only for instances where a mistake was made, like double uploads, or artworks that don’t meet the platform guidelines. -
If a wall is painted over, you should use the link function
previously on this wallin the marker section of editing an artwork. This will create a timeline for a wall, where users can find links to the artworks that were on that same wall earlierMore info about this in this thread: Link artworks and create timelines
-
The Leake street tunnel is a legal wall, which means the art gets painted over in high frequenty. For these type of places we normally don’t document all of the art seperately, as this would be a mamoth task to keep up. These are added to the map as a
Placerather than anArtwork.
Hope this helps!
