That is fine if the tag has not been used, and the page is written like a proposal suggestion. But if the user just wants to tag a dozen widgets as Tag:amenity=widget, it is fine to leave the Tag page in place, and then add information as needed like "See Also the more common tag landuse=widget which has a similar meaning", or "Some other mappers have used this tag in a different way, with this differnet meaning..." when necessary. I personally check every new Tag: and Key: page (in English, Indonesian or Spanish) every couple of weeks, and I suspect Mateusz Konieczny and some other experienced wiki users also check the Special:NewPages list frequently for the same reason. You can see that many of the Tag: and Talk pages on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Special:NewPages have been edited by more than one user, even the ones that were made in the past month or two. This review effort is not yet happening for the Data Items, and since there were >500 created by bot over Christmas (Dec 25-26th), I think it's unlikely anyone has reviewed the recently created data items over the past few months. Most are content-free (key=value is the only property), but some probably need to be checked. - Joseph Eisenberg On 2/19/20, Frederik Ramm <frede...@remote.org> wrote: > Hi, > > On 19.02.20 07:33, Rory McCann wrote: >> I don't know what your experience with the OSM wiki is, but I've created >> new wiki pages for new tags, without bothering with proposal pages. > > I have occasionally moved such pages into the user's name space when I > found them to (by content, if not by name) to be proposals for > something, rather than a documentation of something already established. > I felt that was ok since there's no rule against moving stuff into user > name spaces ;) > > Anyway, I'm fine as long as we agree that data items shouldn't be > created for tags that don't have a human-readable page, and > human-readable pages should be created by humans not bots. > > Bye > Frederik > > -- > Frederik Ramm ## eMail frede...@remote.org ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" > > _______________________________________________ > talk mailing list > talk@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk > _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
