Problems such as this are easily solved by creating wiki pages for certain areas, such as https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa The Flemish-speaking community created https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NL:How_to_map_a (inspired by the German https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:How_to_map_a). We also have dedicated pages such as https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NL:Jaagpad to explain typical Belgian/Flemish situations. Since OSM is a do-ocracy, do not complain, but write the wiki page you want to see. As soon as you start a group of pages in a certain language, you might get more people on board. regards m. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
