Hi Daniel,

I agree - the wiki can be hard to edit if you have never done this before.
This is why I requested a visual editor (that is now used by Wikipedia) to
be added. Unfortunately this requires an update to the version of MediaWiki
that we use so is not a simple case of installing a plug-in. Hopefully it
will be picked up sooner rather than later but in a volunteer based project
patience is essential :-)

Rob

[Tagging] Proposal for new tag: landuse=plot

2013-09-17 Thread Lukas Hornby
Hi,

For your consideration, please read and comment on my proposal to improve
the way that allotments, particularly plots on allotments are tagged.

Thanks,

1. We do not map land lots in OSM, for reasons that have been
discussed many times.

2. Even if we did, land lots do not talk about land use, which is what
landuse is for.

 this might be a case of the UK and the US being separated by a common
 language. We are talking about allotments here, not parcels, which are
 something completely different. We DO map allotments in OSM since,
 well,
 a long time ago. Taking this to one more level of detail by going to
 individual plots is to much micromapping for my taste, but tastes are
 different ...
 
  2. Even if we did, land lots do not talk about land use, which is
 what
  landuse is for.
 
 Allotments are by definition cultivated gardens, so landuse=allotments
 is IMHO in the right place in tag space. The proposed plots would be a
 subdivision of the allotments area, so putting it in landuse MIGHT be
 ok.

The equivalent American term is a community garden.
