I removed the link to the key url=* because it's own wiki page advises it shouldn't be used, so I figured there was no need to link it here.
As far as I understood, although it might make sense to tag an URL in some cases, the meaning of this key is too generic, making it hard to be used by tools. Therefore it's better to use another key that better indicates the meaning or relation of the URL, such as website=*, wikipedia=* and so on (not sure if there are others). 2014-07-09 11:43 GMT-03:00 Martin Koppenhoefer <dieterdre...@gmail.com>: > > 2014-07-09 16:37 GMT+02:00 John Packer <john.pack...@gmail.com>: > > I made some changes to the page Key:wikipedia on the wiki. >> Please review: >> http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key%3Awikipedia&diff=1060207&oldid=1041603 >> > > > your edit looks fine to me, besides that you removed the "url" reference. > This is still a valid tagging method, isn't it?
