Changeset When Comment

Please don't add estates and developments as `place=` . This causes inconsistency in both `landuse=` and `place=` .

144458833 over 1 year ago

Please don't move features wildly. Both are `=peak` on their own. When renaming, change the names only.

144437947 over 1 year ago

Please don't delete shops as they represent a shop space. This preserves the position, and avoids deleting any addresses accidentally. Remove the tags, change it to a plain "Point", or change to `was:*=` .

1. Please don't use `=permit` for "Except with permit" in HK. It means at most `=private` almost every time.
2. Please don't change `vehicle=` to `access=` . This means pedestrians are affected as well, without overriding.

144409729 over 1 year ago

Please don't change `=uncontrolled` to `=unmarked` . `crossing:markings=no` has already been used.

1. There is much consensus in Discourse. Plus applications eg Nominatm calling for this.
2. What does that mean? Lines are the equivalent for `route=ferry`
3. Why should the government be followed? They still don't resemble a name, more of a label that shouldn't be used. There are alternatives discussed. osm.wiki/User:Nadjita/Routes#New_tag_label=*
4. This is arbitrary. The naming on `=bus` doesn't follow Schedule of Routes exactly either for "Urban Route" etc. Preventing change doesn't hold, as further renaming is avoided for eg North Point via Kai Tak or Kwun Tong first. Both rerouting and change of management doesn't happen frequently anyway. This argument is not used on bus and trains either.
Coral Sea Ferry is the common name here. It shouldn't be obstructed by redundant info in `from=` and `to=` .

Please read osm.wiki/Proposal:Use_description_instead_of_name_for_route_relations and osm.wiki/Talk:Buses#Bus_Route_Naming . This should not be done.
Elsewhere eg London's River, they may even be unnamed. Staten Island Ferry doesn't need to say `=Whitehall - St George` either.

Park warden may be translated as ranger as well. So at least in formalities, they are the equivalence.

Please don't use upload comments for public messaging or discussion.
They are originally `=farmyard` , while obviously unrelated to farms. This is also not an `office=` , because they don't really work there to provide services in the tertiary sector sense.
Country park management centers are stationed by wildfire crew. Park warden patrols, and take law enforcement on illegal activities eg hunting. The English of the related "護理科" department inside that can be headquartered at mangement centers is translated as "Ranger Service" and "Ranger Office".
The key point about `=ranger_station` from the US is they do policing. It was originally misusing `=police` . osm.wiki/Proposal:Tag:amenity=ranger_station
For public services, visitor permits are not applicable, But vehicles can be controlled by them
Visitor service can in fact be shown be `tourism=information` + `information=centre` . This was not fully considered.
If non-public facing is argued, following `police=` it might use eg `ranger=` similar to osm.wiki/Proposal:Fire_service for `=fire_station` . But it is also debatable whether the US definition of a `=ranger_station` should be applied worldwide.

Please don't blindly merge different sections. The sidewalk ends at the off-slip bridge.

144275782 over 1 year ago

It represents a shop space. It should be updated to what is now. Otherwise it is impossible to understand what refers to what if people create new objects imprecisely and without details. You are "lucky" this doesn't have an address

Please don't blindly do corrections. The area tags on a linear `outer` should be removed.

144110891 almost 2 years ago

Turns out I forgot to remove these tags. And someone else wrongly fixed them.

144110891 almost 2 years ago

This is invalid. You can't have touching rings.

144002478 almost 2 years ago

1. `access=residents` is not widely supported. `=private` is understood to be this. It's not very needed to add `private=residents` , and it has a collision with `ownership=private` .
2. `barrier=door` should either be `door=` or `barrier=gate` .

143992693 almost 2 years ago

`building:flats=` is for the entire building, not per floor.

143975581 almost 2 years ago

Please don't add non-commonly used "English" names to `name=` and `name:en=` . Use `name:yue-Latn=` for Cantonese romanization.

143929706 almost 2 years ago

It doesn't matter much because transit data are usually not updated frequently. Sometimes weekly, often monthly. Most apps in general only update daily, so you want to preload it before midnight. Again this doesn't matter much after the last trip of the day anyway.

143958872 almost 2 years ago

Please don't add descriptor labels. `name=` is for proper names only.

143956862 almost 2 years ago

Please don't add not yet opened features directly.
