Hello rab, seen the restore changeset/87817475. Guess we have to wiat for the renderer to update the tiles. Will take a look at the boundary problem.

Hello rab, have you restored it ? I have downloaded both relations and did a dummy change on it, so can upload it. I am still not seeing the Lake in OSM yet.

Hello, confirmed, we are missing Lake Victoria, please revert this chageset or restore it, is URGENT ! Lots of people are working on it.

Some overlapping ways caused the whole Lake Victoria to render incorrectly. Took the community nearly a month to find and resolve. Please next time check your warnings for overlapping ways and resolve them.

Hello Andy, it mainly is. The landuse=residential tag is added consistent with refugee camp tagging used elsewhere in Uganda and International. It came out of a long discussion and the lack of a specific landuse tag for refugee camps. The relation shows the border and land assigned by the government for refugee settlement. Although not all of the land might be "for residential" use yet, it grows continuously. A lot of land is used for agriculture, by refugees, but typically have their homes on that land. You find more about the tagging convention here: osm.wiki/Refugee_Camp_Mapping and osm.wiki/WikiProject_Uganda/Conventions and osm.wiki/Proposed_features/Refugee_Camp_Boundaries.

Hello, I did some more research which showed that traffic signs which are not tagged as parts or nodes on a highway are completely ignored. Now they are essential parts in traffic control and in mapping in general. So I think the best solution is to go for a compromise being adding a node at the actual location beside of the way and additionally putting a node on the highway as from where the traffic sign takes effect. This way both mapping is correct and the functionality of traffic control is also integrated in the maps. I also found that this way of tagging is used in many other countries.

Very much true. I did the same for Ugandan traffic signs. Using the keys traffic_sign=UG:number. However, if you look in the wiki for the Highway tag you find values like give_way and stop, as the wiki says to indicate the location of a give_way or stop sign. The highway key however doesn't give this description for the roundabout sign. So to be consistent I used a same key with a value "roundabout" not described yet in the wiki. I think we have an inconsistency here with the stop and give_way descriptions in the highway tag. Or is the highway tag only used to indicate the postion of the marker line on the highway ? It's very unclear. Maybe we should take this to a forum discussion on the highway tag ? I could add the nodes again for the roundabout signs with only the traffic_sign tag. How do you see it ?

Hi, the routing apps I meant are maps.me (OSRM based) and OsmAnd. I use those to test routes when moving around.
Mueschel's comment explains it clearly but my intention was different. The nodes with the junction=roundabout was tagged to define the location of the traffic signposts. For traffic signs I use both methods, node on the way and a node next to the way. If we delete the nodes on the way the routing software doesn't announce or show the traffic sign ? (still testing this). If we delete them and only focus on the mapping of the highway sections I fully agree and understand Mueschel's and the Wiki, but this doesn't cover the location of traffic signs.

Hello Gerd,
Thank you for helping to improve. I'm not really getting your point about the junction=roundabout issue. You say we should not use it on a node ? Or do you mean not use it on the short access roads to the junction ? I know I mostly use two methods because in differences in routing apps. I use hoghway=junction on the road section part of the roundabout and I put a node at every beginning of the roundabout on the highway with junction=<type of junction> . To my experience this works best in most commonly used routing apps. How do you see it different ?

Hello Andrew. I found the mistake. When you was drawing Damba island you overlapped the new island coastline with an existing administrative boundary, defined as an inner boundary of Lake Victoria. Damba Island was defined as a relation but not as an inner boundary of Lake Victoria. So, after deleting the old inner administrative boundary and adding the new relation Damba Island as inner for Lake Victoria the rendering seems OK again. Please in the future do not overlap inner boundaries because the relation will not render.

Dear Andrew, since your last edit of Lake Victoria it's no longer rendering. I can't immediately see what is wrong so please find your mistake in this changeset.

Thanks Jan, could help. Would be great if someone just adds some warnings to the validation rules for new tags added.
Typos are corrected.

Hi Jan, sorry for the mistake. Typo, will correct them imediatly. Could you help me in detecting those typo's ? I am using ID and JOSM but neither warns me about typo's when editing or uploading. What tool do you use ?

Please stop drawing roads on top of already existing roads. Also apply the coorect classification for the roads, the roads you added are minor roads surely not Primary roads. Putting the wrong road classifications disrupts programs depending on OSM data. Please read the "Highway classification" for Africa" in the wiki: osm.wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa.
Please look at the tutorials first before making further changes to the map.
For the above reasons your changes have been deleted.

No problem, everyone needs to learn. There are good videos available on the HOT website and on youtube explaining very nicely the basic functions including squaring buildings and road classifications. Feel free to look at them, they will get you started fast and avoid that other people revert the changesets you made.
Keep on going, you are doing great !

Super !

Thanks, super !

Checked it and squared it my self. What editor are you using, the squaring doesn't seem to work or you are msiing on how it works. Please check the other buildings you added. Would be more convenient for reviewers if you keep your changes together in larger changesets. Thank you for quick response and keep on mapping !

Thank you, great work, keep on learning and mapping !

Dear, another problem, the buildings are not squared. Functions exist in every editor to square your buildings. In the neighborhood many buildings are added as areas without tagging. They don't show on the map and are incorrect. every building needs the tag building=yes (or type of building) and needs to be squared. Thank you for correcting.
