Re: [Tagging] request for review: OSM wiki rewording of tourism=motel based on Wikipedia

I've recently been more involved with wikidata and come to appreciate the benefits of having a structured set of data interlinked by well defined properties. You can see here that the current information there considers motels to be a subclass of hotels (so

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - (Hierarchies route=bicycle)

This is an interesting proposal, but it needs a lot of thinking before we can consider it a working proposal. Here is my lost of *additional points* that need clarification. 1) The problem exists in the same way also for other routes like: route=road|foot|hiking|bus|trolleybus|tram|mtb| So the

Tobias wrote: "Now that several comments here indicate that the only practical distinction today is the name on the front sign I come to think that we could abandon the tag altogether." +1 I agree. We tend to "split hairs" in OSM, when in some cases it simply isn't worth the effort. These

Re: [Tagging] Trailhead tagging

I think tagging trailheads as nodes would work for the great majority of the trailheads I've seen over the years. The first node of a designated footway can be tagged as highway=trailhead, a name or other related tagging added to that, and other amenities such as parking lots, waste bins, toilets

Re: [Tagging] request for review: OSM wiki rewording of tourism=motel based on Wikipedia

In Germany my experience is that actually most hotels in the cities charge for parking. On the other hand you find very very few that call themselves "motel". I can only think of one currently that does, and it is located within a motorway rest area. The exception is the chain Motel One which

Re: [Tagging] Route maintenance tagging

A quick progress report. The idea has taken on in Nederland. It appears to be workable because most of the longer routes have been split into sections of one day's walking. The sectioning into relations of <= 300 ways had already been done to make the shirtload of walking route relations

I still think it's the same mechanism. You reuse existing collections of ways to build other collections. I think you describe a use case for that. This can be added to existing "How-to" pages for building routes. These vary somewhat by country, according to what rules the national community has
