Recurring temporary crag closures

[killakalle]

What happened? In Spain there exist annually recurring crag closures with fixed dates - usually due to bird nesting. This can at the moment be reflected in the following ways (to my knowledge) - with drawbacks listed below.

a) Add a text description under section "Restrictions"

• Crags not highlighted in crag list
• only visible when going into the Restrictions section
• easily overlooked
• section "Restrictions" is not available for node types "Cliff", "Sector" (potentially more?)

b) Manually create and resolve warning messages on a yearly basis.

• recurring manual effort required
• not acceptable to expect from voluntary contributors

c) Create a warning message - leave it all year round

• during times when climbing is allowed, warning still shows, which makes no sense
• desensitizing users for warning messages

For users it would be quite valuable to see in one glance - on the crag list - all the currently closed crags.

In https://github.com/theCrag/website/issues/1247 the following is suggested as a solution:

This is covered by the following functionality and processes: Warning system to display the closures Automated (opr if small manual) updates from advocacy groups that take the responsibility to "own the data an dates"

That is not a solution for this ticket because it makes two assumptions that are not true:

1. There exist advocacy groups (with an interest in the respective area)
2. They take ownership of data and dates and update them on theCrag.

Ideally also provide screenshots: Warnings shown in crag list

Warning shown with closure

It might make sense to have a new tag/label "temporary closure" to show in the crag list, to distinguish from permanently closed areas.

What you expected:

• [ ] Create recurring temporary closure once and set dates
• [ ] During a closure period the area and sub-areas are shown with highlighted banner/warning/etc
• [ ] Outside of a closure period no extra highlighting of the area, however seeing the closure data information is still beneficial, e.g. for planning a climbing trip in the next month
• [ ] Affected areas are shown as "Temporary closure"
• [ ] Possibility to delete or edit recurring closures

This is also useful for Belgium and Germany, and I think the whole of the EU because of projects like Natura2000.

for the record, temporary closures are also discussed in https://github.com/theCrag/website/issues/3665

+1 for "temporary closure" feature

At the moment I use "c) Create a warning message - leave it all year round" and also see the disadvantage of warnings being temporarily untrue and desensitizing users for warning messages.

I've just noticed that the section "Restrictions" is not available for node types "Cliff" and "Sector". This makes option A even less usable (I updated my initial post)
