You know that you can disable the OpenRailwayMap overlay at
openrailwaymap.org, don't you? I think that's a good replacement. In
addition, our tiles are available as overlay (and as basemap) on
http://mc.bbbike.org/mc/

A map which should be included into the openstreetmap.org website should
be a basemap (it may have a special purpose like OpenCycleMap) and be able
to handle all the traffic.

Best regards

The  tag comes from the Simple Image MediaWiki extension. [1] 
You can specify layer="transport" to get the same rail- and bus-focused 
style as the Transport layer on osm.org. (Incidentally, layer="cycle" 
also works.)


The extension's source code is on GitHub, if anyone is interested in 
improving it. [2] However, at this point, it sure would be nice to be 
able to use the Kartographer extension's slippy maps instead. [3][4]

[Talk-us] Rail rendering support in our wiki?

2016-10-24 Thread OSM Volunteer stevea
As I contribute to our wiki pages, I find it useful in certain circumstances to 
use this syntax:



to display (instead of mapnik/Standard) a bicycle-oriented map (Cycle Map 
layer, note "layer=cycle" above).  See, for example, 
http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/South_Bay_(SF),_California for Silicon Valley's unique 
"Expressways" and extensive bicycle infrastructure.

As I also make USA rail contributions, is there any way that our wiki might 
allow similar "layer=rail" syntax to display OpenRailwayMap (.org), for example 
to display an appropriate rendering at the top of our California/Railroads wiki 
page?

Also, if OSM's "layer" control (stack icon) added OpenRailwayMap, (to 
complement our Transport layer; thank you, Andy), that would be GREAT!

Thanks in advance to whomever might get this or these "stitched in" to our 
wonderful project,

SteveA
