OpenStreetMap
New change set tracker in the user profiles should be removed.
Posted by Hans Thompson on 14 наурыз 2025 in English.My edits are not git commits.
If anyone that is interested in knowing my change set history I would be more than happy to send them a link to one.
The ability to edit my bio and profile picture are all the personalization that I require.

What is the difference?

A typo correction could be a commit I suppose so then most anything could be git commit. My point is that I do not want or need my changes being analyzed and tracked as a default.

While I’d appreciate a visibility toggle for this feature, you do realize that all data you submit to OSM is entirely public and pages like https://hdyc.neis-one.org reveal way more information than a simple contribution graph like this?

@sw_uwu. Yes, I am aware this is public. I am speaking to the difference between making data available and displaying statistics that infer behavior.

I completely disagree. The addition is extremely welcome and shows the recent, very positive trend of OSM-website maintainters finally implementing long-requested features.
Thank you, OSM-website maintainers for this and in general for “Reviving” a “dead” project.
PS: Should there be a toggle for displaying that? Probably yes, as evidenced by this diary entry existing.

If it was welcome, there wouldn’t be so much disagreement as a whole.
This a diary entry, if you would like to share your own feelings, utilize the existing features you aren’t using to compose your own entry.

AFAIK noone was claiming so and it such confusion was not a reason for adding this display
