Thread:Help talk:Type Date/Dates without years

Not sure if this is true by design but there's no error message if a value of type 'Date' consists of just a day and a month, for instance "2 February" - a query for "2 February" gives appropriate results. Because such incomplete dates cannot be interpreted as points in time, as the page points out, I was surprised to see this behaviour, but if it is a bug, I'd welcome it anyway: it lets you add annual events without any specific start and end.

(Note also that if you had events on, say, 2 February 1567, 2 February 1785 and 2 February 2014, there's no way of querying for all events that happened on 2 February in whatever year; but adding "2 February" as a value would do the trick).
