Doesn't gedcom import disallow blank date fields?

Question

This profile was created by a gedcom upload in late 2015. By then, didn't the gedcom upload/import disallow empty date fields? How did this profile get created without any date fields ? Thanks.

Answer 1

Human error. Until recently they had to be manually skipped so some surely slipped through.

Now they are skipped automatically.

Thanks, Eowyn. I didn't realize they were still manual as late as that.

Eowyn, this appears to be a manually created profile, but really recent and no dates:

Does manual profile creation allow saving a new profile without dates?

There's a way around it that we consider hacking the system. I sent a message to the PM.

Aiello-94 looks like what Wikitree creates when you add a sibling to a profile that doesn't have parents. Is that really considered "hacking the system"?

---

No, but using all zeroes for the date is.

So Wikitree is breaking its own rules when it automatically creates these blank profiles?
