In Bristol users have been tagging links to NCN 4 (signposted on the

This just adds confusion when displayed on the maps. We need a way to

As an example of somewhere this hasn't happened look at the current mapping
around St Peter's Basin in Newcastle. It shows and extra spur of the NCN72
along Bottlehouse Street, but actually the NCN72 runs along a parallel road
to the north (Saint Lawrence Street).

I've just been looking through the CUBA data and I think we need to show
that a route is part of a relation (specifically NCNs - which are mostly
done by relation in the Bristol area) to avoid someone retagging all of
the ways as NCN when they are already part of an NCN relation.

will go on to improve and maintain the map.
This is no doubt true.
But surely having an area that has been *surveyed* to 100% road name
completion is just as likely to put off any new contributors as one that
was *traced*
I am pretty sure it already does that. See Back Crossflats Place at

If you import data into an area that doesn't already have an active

But that logic suggests that we should actively *discourage* people from
doing any mapping, as an overly complete map discourages community.

Don't assume that the first camera is entry into a monitored

This is not always the case.

In Potlatch you can also use 'r' or 'Shift-R' to repeat the tags
from the last way you had selected.
