As a test (add and see how it turns out) I have added some Tax Stamps of Belgium. Is really a sad place to live for those stamps:
  • 'Issue date': no month and day provided;
  • 'Serial number in the series': shame about the place that the field takes, nothing is done with it (try the to get items from a series on a screen in that order!);
  • pity I measured the perforation digitally ... I was able to save myself the trouble.
Imho it would be better to make those items disappear instead of banning them to the 'Other' section. That is of no use to anyone. Nice for when you have a stamp, want to throw it on the heap to increase the counter, but can't put it in the stamps section. I have no great knowledge of the subject 'Tax Stamps', but I dare to say:
  1. I don't see a collector of Tax Stamps being tempted by it;
  2. in those circumstances selling / searching is almost impossible.
Can't we rename the Item to 'Tax Stamps Pictures'?

Is there no one on LD who has eaten some cheese from Tax Stamps and still sees some bread in it?

Tax stamps are on the wish list for an independent section.

Raoul62 Collectioneur I have created a background page in the section other/tax stamps. My intention was to do that with the Belgian stamps, but I notice that the page has ended up with the main category fiscal stamps. I don't think it's a bad thing, and when the revenue stamps becomes a separate section and Belgium becomes a collection area in it, it might be solved (hint, hint, :-)

I also have a catalog about the tax stamps, so I could go through the stamps entered and make the necessary additions/changes. I would prefer to do this in consultation with an administrator so that my newbie adjustments do not have to be adjusted again afterwards. Is there an administrator for the revenue stamps?

You can certainly contribute Peter. Collectioneur Make a note in advance, in case the column comes up.
It's trial and error, and above all, learning a lot. Enrichment.
With the input / experiences of others who actually don't always know much about it. If you take the good (from those experiences) out of it and combine it, you will come a long way.
There are also users who suddenly step in - for a short or longer period of time - but prefer not to figure in the foreground. There must be one central person responsible for coordination and supervision that everything goes according to the agreements. And even though you are responsible, you are never alone. You can always consult with someone, ask questions and get answers.
And above all: it is not 'lifelong'. You can start, and also stop.

jogo We have a really good search feature. Go to the homepage of the catalog and search 'Tax stamp', you will find over 4000 in Other.
Other possibility : Read back in this thread to which you reply. It also says that they are in Other and that there may be their own section one day.

Rest assured that I will use that search function! But sometimes you don't see where you really need to look because of the result. There are a lot of tax stamps between the regular stamps... and there is no main category 'tax stamps'. So I searched the forum for a few minutes.
So Raoul helped me a lot, thank you for that!

If you find real revenue stamps in the Stamps section:
in an empty field you put 'WRONG SECTION -> OTHER / Fiscal stamp'.

A good soul on LD (lol) then moves it to that place.

But sometimes you have to pay attention ... there are stamps that were used both fiscally and postally. Especially in the United Kingdom and (former) territories.
It may still say 'tax' or 'revenue', but they also belong in the Stamps section.
India, for example, has numerous. e.g.: #1248761
The same stamps exist with the inscription 'India Postage' and 'India Postage & Revenue'. Both were used postally. Both belong in the stamp section. Also this one with additional imprint (service).
Whether the copies with 'Revenue' must or may also be included in the section 'Tax Stamps' ... That will have to be determined by the future (separate) section, with its future administrator.

Off topic:
Reminds me that in addition to 'Great Britain' we also have a country/territory 'United Kingdom' in the Stamps section. Since 2014 according to the 'history' of the 2 items that country has? One cinderella and one FDC.
The cinderella is I think a label from a postage stamp (and we don't put that on LD). The FDC seems to me to be a duplication of #3918529 .
Judging by the stats, no one is waiting for it.
I think those items already have quite a story (journey) behind them.
I would say make it disappear. Items and area?
Collectioneur According to the admin module, you would have created (or changed) that 'country' in 2021?

That's right, that was part of an effort to LD widely equalize the names of countries. But Stamps is also the exception here with Great Britain.
Put those 2 items on GBR, then the United Kingdom can expire at Stamps.

Collectioneur
I'm just going to rank those 2 items vertically.

Addendum: Happened to this one. And I immediately removed that 'country' via the administrator module. Or tomorrow there will be another item for 8 years.
