Re: [OSM-talk] Wiki: Removing Content from .../User:xxx/Kosmos Pages
Hi Andreas, I'm the author of Kosmos. It doesn't really work with the new OSM data (64 bit IDs etc) and I haven't received any user support email for at least a couple of years, so it's safe to say no one uses it anymore. Maperitive replaced all of its functionality long time ago. So if you feel the need to clean up the wiki pages, please don't hesitate to do so. And thanks for the effort.

Re: [OSM-talk] Wiki: Removing Content from .../User:xxx/Kosmos Pages
This doesn't actually solve the problem, but you can filter the search results by searching only on certain namespaces, such as the namespace "(Main)" and "Talk". This way, at least user pages wouldn't show as a result, which is where most Kosmos rendering rules appear. > Would it be alright to remove the whole content and replace it with the > same banner as on the Kosmos Wiki page? Is there a better solution? If there was a template similar to [1], I believe that would be the best solution. But I don't know much about MediaWiki, so I'm not sure how the process of adding this template could be made easier.

Re: [OSM-talk] Wiki: Removing Content from .../User:xxx/Kosmos Pages
> Is anybody still using the Kosmos software? Your question prompted me to run Kosmos, as I still have it installed as well as Maperitive and I wasn't sure why. It seems I haven't yet upgraded the rules I used to create the Beer Festival map I did for station to venue which uses http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:EdLoach/KosmosCBF2009mono and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:EdLoach/KosmosCBF2009 My third rule page is boundaries only and I'll delete it. I'll try and upgrade the above rules then delete them too (then uninstall Kosmos). I have done mono rules for another beer fest in Maperitive since, so these might do. In summary, I don't use it very often as the maps I generated with it don’t need updating very often, but at the moment it does what I need without the extra work of upgrading the rules.

[OSM-talk] Wiki: Removing Content from .../User:xxx/Kosmos Pages
I'm trying to clean up the Wiki and frequently use "What links here", especially when it's not clear how a tag I used and I suspect different definitions on different pages. Usually that works great and I get like 5-15 results, but for some tags I get like 100+, because they are linked to Kosmos rules user pages. On the Kosmos Wiki page (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Kosmos) it says: > Kosmos is no longer actively maintained, since it has been replaced > by a new tool called Maperitive. The new tool is much more flexible > and powerful, so the author recommends switching to it. Is anybody still using the Kosmos software? The pages in question: https://www.google.com/#q=site:wiki.openstreetmap.org%2Fwiki%2FUser:+inurl:Kosmos Would it be alright to remove the whole content and replace it with the same banner as on the Kosmos Wiki page? Is there a better solution?
