I'm still a relative newbie, and am confused about how this could get added to the Mapping Features.
I guess like a lot of people I joined the "osm community" then immediately started mapping stuff in my local area. In the last few weeks I've tried to learn a bit more by reading emails sent to the lists, and by reading the wiki. I've come to the conclusion that OSM is inherently anarchic. But, although everyone is allowed to add their own tags when mapping, the community is building up an agreed set of "Mapping Features" on the mapping features page, via drafts, proposals and voting. But it appears this feature was added to mapping features without a draft, proposal or voting. If this is the case the feature should be removed then added after correct procedure has been followed? Bots in my limited knowledge seems unacceptable. Surely a bot should also have to go through some sort of approval process before being unleashed? Then again, I assume someone will answer with the following "The first rule of OSM, is that there are no rules". (If it has been approved or I've not understood a procedure, then the mapping features page needs to make things clearer) Jason 2009/3/2 Thomas Wood <grand.edgemas...@gmail.com> > I've just added it to the wiki, and since it's transcluded on Map > Features, the wiki promptly went down on saving. > > Hope it comes back up soon... > > 2009/3/2 Andrew Chadwick (email lists) <andrewc-email-li...@piffle.org>: > > Tom Hughes wrote: > > > >> Indeed, just because a tag is not mentioned on the wiki does not mean > >> people should go round removing it! > > > > Though the tag should probably be documented too, for the avoidance of > > future errors amongst those who attach undue meaning to lack of > > documentation, and too little importance to the spirit of [[Any tags you > > like]] and the nature of other people's data :( > > > > -- > > Andrew Chadwick > > > > _______________________________________________ > > talk mailing list > > talk@openstreetmap.org > > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk > > > > > > -- > Regards, > Thomas Wood > (Edgemaster) > > _______________________________________________ > talk mailing list > talk@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk >
