Well Kevin, Well, it seems that the edits from 'OntarioEditor' along the entire 405 were missed and still have the 'ON' in the ref tag on the ways.
As for the new user doing it, it's 'North American Highways'. I sent him both a PM and a comment on a changeset [1] directing him here to the mailing list. Hopefully he'll respond back to me or post here. For all I know, he could be the same user above with a new account as he added the 'ON' back to the ref tag on the 400 [2]. He's also had QEW edits reverted 'TWICE' where he added the 'ON' to the ref tag.

Personally I don't think there should be any prefix for rendering or navigation purposes, but I guess it depends on whether you think county or regional road prefixes should be there for navigation or rendering purposes. -Kevin (Kevo)-Kevin Farrugia kevinfarru...@gmail.com On Fri, Jun 26, 2015 at 7:36 AM, Daniel Begin <jfd...@hotmail.com> wrote: AFAIK, it has never been discussed at least on this forum. I consider it as an error or even vandalism since it does not conform to acceptable rules (1) A similar behavior has been seen a couple of months ago where user:OntarioEditor added a prefix to ref tag for most primary/secondary roads in Quebec. I contacted him but never had an answer. The question was asked on this list by another user about such behavior. Unfortunately, I did not see any specific answer and his/her edits are still all over the place. Someone has more information? Comments?

Are you starting to do that now, or is this user in error with the current tagging practices? -James _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
