The key definition page is OK, but the "Aeroways" page would have sense tp explain the concepts, give background information, etc., but it shouldn't be a mere replication of the aeroway key page. If we don't have anything to say compared to what should be on the key page, then we could consider removing the page alltogether. > > If I can only map the runways of an airport but not those at an aerodrome > then how am I supposed to tell them apart? Whereabouts on the wiki is the > definition of what an airport is? agreed, I have changed to wording on the runway definition page from "airport" to aerodrome now, because this is apparently what is agreed, and because it was already on the Aeroways page.
