quite correct, thanks for noticing this!

😮

It's a bit complicated (and there's work underway to fix protect_class generally and clean up the wiki) but essentially class=26 isn't used as historic= and heritage= already exists and thus it's redundant.

If you'll look at the taginfo stats (https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/?key=protect_class&value=26), it has almost no usage anywhere in the world, and the tile renderer only uses class 1a, 1b, 2-6, and 24.

If you'll scroll a bit further down to the Country-specific section, no countries are using class 26. Now, nobody has added entries for Uruguay but it probably doesn't make sense to be the only country using that value!

Also...since that value is so rarely used, it is almost certain that no data consumers are able to use it.

Hi, I changed heritage to 8 to match admin_level=8 which was previously tagged. I see you've updated both to 1 which seems fine.

protect_class=26 is not conventionally used, and is sufficiently described by heritage=*

Thank you!

Thank you for working this. I've been meaning to fix all of these areas. You might be interested in the ongoing work/discussion at osm.wiki/United_States/Public_lands

Folks: I've started a wiki page specifically to document Cook County issues. Please feel free to contribute thiere: osm.wiki/United_States/Illinois/Cook_County

Hi, please be aware that this change deleted most of the boundary of Forestburgh. You should be running the validator in JOSM which will tell you if you've broken a boundary relation. Feel free to hit me up on Slack if you need any ore details. I've managed to revert part of this changeset to fix it but please be aware of this issue on other edits!

Thanks guys, I think I've got it squared away now!

Those should have been cleaned up, can you tell me which relation you're seeing that on?

I've made additional edits that should take care of all the stray tagging.

Are you using the landuse polygons from RI GIS? I had started playing with that but the files were so large that it slowed JOSM down to a crawl. I ask because I know offhand that data has separate polygons for coniferous, deciduous, and mixed forests. I started to import it a few polygons (see: osm.org/#map=14/41.6350/-71.4206) but it quickly got overwhelming to deal with :(

It's an accident is what it is!  One of many versions of the CT/RI border that I had import in JOSM and I must have accidentally uploaded it.

Hi - this changeset removed large parts of the boundaries of Falls Church and several surrounding towns, so I reverted the change.

I recommend jumping on Slack (osm.wiki/List_of_OSM_centric_Slack_workspaces) for help with editing boundaries. In general, you should be using JOSM and not the web-based editor for more complex edits.

This changeset deleted part of the boundary of Sterling, VA (osm.org/relation/2669756).

Hello, you have broken the boundary:
osm.org/relation/8527041

What a bizarre little town! Anyways, in this edit you left a bit of street hanging off the boundary which broke validation. I've fixed it but you should probably check that it's correct.

Hello, this change broke the Carrboro boundary relation (osm.org/relation/179859). Please be sure to use the JOSM validator to prevent this from happening!

Hello, please be aware that this change broke the Jeffersonville boundary relation (osm.org/relation/127622). I've fixed it, but in the future please be sure to use the JOSM validator to prevent this issue!

Hello - this change broke the Westerly town boundary relation (osm.org/relation/7723824)
