Could you please scrape the dates?

We also need dates on https://mix-n-match.toolforge.org/#/catalog/6530 and https://mix-n-match.toolforge.org/#/catalog/6531. Thanks!

6530 and 6531 have dates where available, I believe. Can you find me an example of 6530 that has dates in the source but not on MnM?

I have no examples, in fact; I see dates everywhere in the entries. But if dates are everywhere in the entries, I don't understand why in the "Jobs" I don't see the options to match on name-date, on birthdate and on deathdate, that should appear since the dates are present in the entries.

6530 and 6531 had their dates imported rather than scraped from the description, so the "has_person_date" flag was not set for the catalog. It is set now, and the date jobs should be available.

Thanks! I was thinking if the possibility of setting the flag "has_person_date" could be made available in catalog_editor (e.g. https://mix-n-match.toolforge.org/#/catalog_editor/6530) so that MnM admins can set this flag in case of dates imported without disturbing you.

Another small request: I'm often using the https://mix-n-match.toolforge.org/#/issues/ to find wrong matches in the catalogs, or duplicates, and it is very useful; it is unclear to me when and how MnM analyses a catalog to find potential issues, and if it does it only one for each catalog (when it is imported) or it does it for each catalog periodically; would it be possible to add a job for each catalog that allows to trigger a new check of potential issues? I think it would be very useful!
