Accepted by 16(!) wiki editors but ignored by thousands of mappers. 5 years after acceptance according to tagwatch: "new" tag usage water=reservoir 79937 water=riverbank 1085 "old" tag usage landuse=reservoir 387793 waterway=riverbank 293319 If data consumers would read wiki to learn how things are already mapped they would get wrong information. What would be the process of reconsidering water proposal? 1. Wiki proposal for "unproposing" :-) 2. De facto reversal (based on actual mapping) I personally do not see wiki as a good place to do that because wiki does have a more or less separate group of people. I would assume most mappers are not watching wiki for proposals, so basically we would get back to the same 16 wiki editors. P.S. Sorry for "tank accusation", must have mixed with somebody else. -- Tomas _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
