Hi tagging, hi Warin, Sorry to interrupt, but I disagree at this point. * * * TL;DR: changing_table: "A tag for tagging changing tables" was indeed bad.
changing_table: "provides a surface for changing the nappy (diaper) of an infant or young child" is just right (explains that "table" can be a "generic surface", that "changing" refers to "changing babies". "changing the nappy (diaper)" is well-suited in a description, no need to define what "change a diaper" means * * * We should aim for '*self-explanatory* *description*', the gold standard being duck tagging. We can have a lot of self-referencing, which means the key-value is well suited to describe the object, with a short and clear text as much as possible. On the other side I think we should avoid long, complicated sentences, or escaping terms (circumlocution) a few examples: amenity = hospital: A hospital providing in-patient medical treatment amenity = school: A primary or secondary school (pupils typically aged 6 to 18) wikipedia = *: Provides a link to Wikipedia's article about the feature religion = *: Defines the specific religion I completely disagree we should have '*definition*' and avoid '*self-referencing*'. OSM wiki is a documentation with *description* and use of tags, but it is not a dictionary for *definition* of terms. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
