[Talk-us] old_ref_legislative vs. old_ref:legislative

[Albert Pundt]

Shouldn't the tag old_ref_legislative (used primarily in Pennsylvania but
applicable elsewhere) be old_ref:legislative according to current key
naming conventions? According to taginfo, old_ref_legislative
 is used by
far mostly in Pennsylvania to mark the pre-1987 legislative numbers, but a
few uses exist in California and England. In all there are over 40,000 uses
of this key. old_ref:legislative
 on the
other hand is used only in California, but still with over 18,000 uses.

Does anyone think it might be worth it to attempt to change all the
old_ref_legislative values to old_ref:legislative in line with current
tagging conventions, much like what was already done with the creation of
ref:penndot to replace using ref and penndot_ref for PA's state-owned
routes?

Hello US folks,
The mapper who made these original edits is long gone from OSM, so what 
remains is largely a "data tidying exercise".


For info, I've looked at Shasta-Trinity National Forest and deleted the 
main _duplicate_ Shasta-Trinity NF way 
http://osm.mapki.com/history/way.php?id=487220873 (the original 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/70010/ hasn't been edited for 12 
months as so is presumably OK).  I'll also look at the smaller 
duplicates added by http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/47829109 .


It'd be great if other people could have a look at some of the 
duplicates highlighted within the parent post with a view to removing 
duplicates in the other ones too.  Someone's already (correctly in my 
view) removed "leisure=park" from at least some of these.


There's also scope to map the landuse etc. within the national forest 
boundaries such as http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/418301052 better, 
but that will need more local mappers with local knowledge (of whom 
there are never enough to go around).  Currently in that example there 
seems to be only http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/64298706 , which is 
another import.  It's clear for example that the trees in the imagery at 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=17/40.61757/-122.94615 don't match 
what has been imported.  Areas such as this are a good drive from major 
population centers, but there are newish mappers popping up around 
Eureka and Redding so it'd be great if they continue and in the future 
add what they know about these areas too.


Best Regards,
Andy Townsend (DWG member and very occasional hiker in Northern California)
