"plaque=dedication_plaque" is a tag for plaques (memorial=plaque) that note the person (or other subject) after whom a nearby feature — a street, building, park, or similar — is named.
Typical data recorded alongside this tag:
inscription=*- the plaque's full text.subject=*- the person or other subject commemorated.
Common examples:
- A plaque on a building reading “Jane Doe” with dates, placed on a building called Jane Doe House.
- A small plaque beside “Smith Street” listing John Smith’s name and dates without an explanatory sentence.
The tag applies when the plaque records who the feature commemorates; it does not require the plaque to explicitly state the connection in linking language. This is separate from mentions on standard street signs.
