Just to summarise a bit: 2 major points: 1. If its a barangay then tag them as such, place=barangay 2. Well it is the same as a village, then tag them as place:village and, add a page in the wiki explaining that the village tag represents barangay in the Philippines
There's also a suggestion in talk-ph to add admin_level tag: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00133.html cheers, maning On Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 2:41 PM, Elena of Valhalla <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 12:08 AM, Erik Johansson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> On Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 4:11 PM, David Earl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >>> Better editor (or API) support for different languages is surely a >>> better way to go. >> If everyone here are native english speakers or speaks relatively >> fluently, and they all take the pragmatic route of using UK centric >> tagging how is this ever going to happen? > > I am not a native english speaker, but the place for language support > is the editor, not the API, and the editors are already being > translated, so it is already happening > > The data however should remain as worldwide consistent as it can and > to do so it must remain in one language only; maybe uk-en isn't the > better choice, but there are plenty of worse one, and surely it is > good enough > >> So Please tag as >> place=barangay and create a wiki page with a template or some kind of >> link that says that this is more or less similar to place=village. > > if it is almost a village and needs to be rendered like a village, tag > it place=village and write a translation for the main editors and the > main routers that call the preset barangay > >> This would help in making it render, on the main map.
