I could but at this point i don't think this would be very productive. You have made it clear from the very beginning that you want to decide on this within the realms of the OSM wiki itself without involving the larger OSM community. You further imply here: > I never saw you on the wiki, so I'm not surprised to see that your > opinion is not voiced there at all to my knowledge. that the right of community members to participate in this discussion is derived from activity on the wiki. Unless you revise this approach and subject your plans to an open ended critical evaluation of the wider OSM community independent of their merit within the OSM wiki as a project on its own i don't see much basis for a discussion on this. You could follow Andy's suggestion on tagging and explain the practical effects of your plan and the benefits you perceive it to have to the wider community and defend it in arguments against critical feedback (many of which have already been provided in past and current discussions). Explaining your plans in a way that can be understood by mappers without a background in the technological aspects of Mediawiki and Wikidata alone can be very helpful to understand the issues with these. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
