So you say each value...(are we talking about multiple values or values with semicolon?). What are the most used values: unique or multiple? Why don't we use multiple values more often? > I also wonder whether any key with "_1" or ":1" is better for > beginners than semi colons. > Because it follows one tag-one value policy I supose. But I don't know why in the wiki I read "avoid semicolons"...if it is the best way to manage multiple values. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multiple_values <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multiple_values> .Change the wiki to encourage people to use multiple values. " *When (not) to use multiple valuesFor better or worse, a mapper's first reaction to MV tags should be to avoid them. This is largely because many data consumers do not handle MV tags well, either because they didn't expect them or because handling them is complicated. As the OSM data model doesn't directly support multiple values, they have been tacked-on with various degrees of akwardness.*" > Did you do an experiment with a large number of beginners ? > No. Did you do it about semicolons?

It will be interesting to know it. Cheers (Salut i senyals) yopaseopor
