This is one of five different ways the Birth & Death dates are now being represented in the Project.
"now being represented"? It was added exactly like that in 2006!
We've had dates represented like that for a long time - they usually get cleaned up to conform to the normal practice at some point, but I've seen quite long-established articles still using asterisk for born, dagger for died. It really isn't anything to do with the new date linking approach...
