158073852 | 10 months ago | 3. Each unit doesn't occupy the entire `building=` or `building:part=` . They shouldn't be added to the entire area. |
158044849 | 10 months ago | Please don't apply `building=` to land-only areas |
158073852 | 10 months ago | 1. Please don't add duplicate `amenity=police` . There should only be 1 for each police station. This is Tagging For Renderer, Application, or Editor.
|
158074270 | 10 months ago | Please don't add duplicate `amenity=police` |
157885753 | 10 months ago | The problem is they are basically only handling `operator=` now, not `owner=` . So the acceptance is uncertain. OSM is usually quite cautious and suspicious towards `owner=` .
|
157911485 | 10 months ago | Please don't delete things you don't understand yet. They need to be reformed into `building:part=` properly. |
157885753 | 10 months ago | That seems to be a misunderstanding. At least in this case, it will only be suggested when the `operator=` contains it. So it's only being formatted.
|
157885753 | 10 months ago | Please don't change Housing Department to HKHA. That's the actual agent, more accurate, and has been used by some. |
157886142 | 10 months ago | As mentioned before, please don't blindly add HA as `operator=` of HOS. They are no longer owners after being sold, nor usually the management. |
157991645 | 10 months ago | Please don't Edit For Application. It's the responsibility of apps to handle controls, categories, and discoverability. |
157846456 | 10 months ago | A related issue is how `name:zh-Hans=`, and `name:zh-Hant=` , etc is often added. That's the amount of permutation/combination on the extra work, for `name:yue-Hant=` etc. So the effect of all these needs to be considered. |
157846456 | 10 months ago | Alternatively, we can add both `name:zh-Latn-pinyin` and `name:cmn-Latn-pinyin` , so that it is clear this is a software limitation. Hopefully this will discourage people from adding `name:yue=` . |
157846456 | 10 months ago | You can say the names in Cantonese and Mandarin is the same. Unfortunately, this will simply encourage people to add `name:yue=` . |
157846456 | 10 months ago | `name:zh=` could be interpreted as Cantonese in the form of Standard Written Chinese as well. Fundamentally `zh` would easier to be understood as Written Chinese. Language as spoken, which is what romanization is concerned with, would be better posed with using the more precise encompassed language. |
157846456 | 10 months ago | And don't forget, there is `operator:zh=` , `brand:zh=` , `addr:*:zh=` is etc. That's the amount of work that has to be dealt with here. |
157846456 | 10 months ago | How is the comparison the same? `name:zh=` is perfect in Taiwan, as Mandarin is dominant. But Cantonese is what's used in HK.
|
157846456 | 10 months ago | If you suggest "If Cantonese being included in `zh` in OSM here, then its arguably this creates problems for, at least, Wikimedia sites using OSM." , then it seems you need to discuss a proposal with HK and Macau to redefine `name:zh=` to mean Mandarin, and start using `name:yue=` by standard. However, redefinition of such standard usually doesn't work. |
157846456 | 10 months ago | That is, `name:cmn-Latn` and `name:cmn-Latn-pinyin` to be used. Otherwise, you cause an awkward situation where there is `name:zh-Latn=` and `name:yue-Latn` .
|
157846456 | 10 months ago | It seems you are basically asking everything in HK to be retagged to `name:yue=` ?
|
157846456 | 10 months ago | Please read the rest
o Each encompassed language's subtag SHOULD be used as the primary
o If compatibility is desired or needed, the encompassed subtag MAY
As noted above, applications can choose to use the macrolanguage
