Every tag documentation page has a grey pencil icon next to the description to edit the data message. Maybe it could be made clearer.

While checking out the Map Features osm wiki pages, I noticed a few items that were missing descriptions or had very short, self-referrential ones (eg. "A peninsula" for natural=peninsula and "An isthmus" for natural=isthmus), even though the wiki page actually has a good description, which was approved as part of the proposal process for each feature. When I edited the pages to add the description to the usual template (the ValueDescription template), I was surprised to see that this box was missing. I ended up reverting the last edits which removed the box, so that I could edit it. I was then informed that there is now a "data item" in a tool called "wikibase" where this information can be edited. Another osm wiki user thought this is now the correct place to store information like a tag description. Has this wikibase feature been discussed and approved by the community in some forum? Perhaps it happened before I was involved with OSM? I don't quite understand how it works. Description of wikibase data items (rather confusing to me): https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Data_items _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
