Hi, the DWG has received a complaint about user ti-lo/Rtfm's introduction of motorcycle tags.
Until 03 April, the shop=motorcycle wiki page contained this: > The following is a proposal to put this service variety into tags: > > sale=yes/brand/used/no/... - sells whole motorcycles > rental=yes/brand/no/... - motorcycle rental > repair=yes/brand/oldtimer/no/... - repairs / maintains motorcycles > safety_inspection=yes/no - inspection of safety/emission regulation > conformance > parts=yes/brand/oldtimer/no/... - sells motorcycle parts > clothes=yes/brand/no/... - sells motorcycle clothes / equipment > scooters=yes/no/only - to distinguish scooter shops, very useful in Asia > services=... - other services this shop offers Rtfm (which is ti-lo's account on the wiki) then removed any mention of these tags and the word "proposal", instead added a table > Optional (compare with "Additional keys" in shop=bicycle) > key values description taginfo > motorcycle:sales yes/no/used sells motorbikes / used=only second > hand / yes;used=both new and used > motorcycle:rental yes/no/trailer motorbike rental / motorbike trailer > rental (Both: yes;trailer) > motorcycle:repair yes/no motorbike repair > motorcycle:parts yes/no sells parts > motorcycle:tyres yes/no sells tyres (may also be used in combination > with shop=tyres) > motorcycle:clothes yes/no sells clothes > motorcycle:type Rtfm proceeded to execute an undiscussed mass edit on the OSM database which was reverted here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/47664678 However: * The wiki page has never been changed back * Rtfm/ti-lo has continued to edit motorcycle shops around the world, and whenever he touched one e.g. to change the spelling from "Harley Davidson" to "Harley-Davidson", at the same time also replaced *all* the old-style tags with his new-style tags again. * ti-lo hismelf seems to be by far the most prolific user of these tags. What we have here is not really a classical mechanical edit, but a one-man crusade to push through their tagging scheme. I'm not sure how to best deal with this. Normally we don't want to over-emphasize the proposal and tag voting process and we often say "you can just use a tag and it'll eventually be used by others too". But that doesn't really apply to changing established tags. Even if it is for the better - the complaint we have is really not so much about the new tagging scheme but about the way in which it was established. Opinions? Should we revert the wiki page to the old version and revert all the motorcycle:* tags that ti-lo changed from old-style to motorcycle:*? Or ask him to run a proper proposal process until $DEADLINE under threat of doing the above? Or just shrug and let him have his way?
