hi the suburb, postcode and state aren't needed since these are already derived from existing boundaries mapped. Indeed these addresses were imported from Vicmap data and we intentionally omitted this data for this reason.

No problem. My main issue is that name="Train 427: Dubbo XPT" isn't what these routes are known as on the ground, in common local knowledge or in official documentation, it's an invented name purely from PTv2. We should be using route names that closely match what the route is known as on the ground or referred to as in documentation like official websites, timetabling etc.

If people want a name in the "Train 427: Dubbo XPT" format they can easily build this as `${mode} ${ref}: ${name}` or whatever other format they like.

Yeah I made them back on the 21st. Unfortuantly that tag isn't shown on the default map here.

The "Tracestack Topo" style osm.org/#map=19/-36.907493/147.162343&layers=PN does show it as "T3".

Other maps like OSMAnd can show it under Configure map > Routes > Hiking trails difficulty grade.

could you provide any further documentation for this change?

hi I see you've removed the IUCN number, I don't know much about it but I've asked the person who added it at changeset/47349280

47349280 7 months ago

The IUCN number you added was removed in changeset/168213240 but I don't know much about IUCN numbers to understand what it should be here?

not sure what you mean by symbol? Maybe you mean tag?

I added the sac_scale=demanding_mountain_hiking tag to way/1408273600 which is probably the best way to tag a "steep rock" section that you need to use your hands to navigate through.

looks good, but just a minor note that instead of deleting node/12119421701 and creating a new one next to it, you could just move the existing one to improve the location and update any tags you need. This is based on good practice documented at osm.wiki/Good_practice#Keep_the_history

hi why did you change https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/way/451869895 to not:operator:wikidata=Q5260271 I assume it's from the iD suggestion, perhaps you clicked the wrong button?

I also just did changeset/168286708 since I got sick of people changing these one at a time through iD tag suggestions.

I don't have any local knowledge I was just going by the fact that you named it as "Woolwich baths" in your changeset comment but the name was missing.

Though I checked Bing Streetside (which we can use) and it does show the name signposted https://www.bing.com/maps?cp=-33.840041~151.1689&lvl=17&dir=98.562&style=x&v=2&sV=1 so I've gone ahead and updated the name.

168163897 7 months ago

any reason to not set name=Woolwich Baths?

168117210 7 months ago

We don't usually tag where it's safe/no safe to cross since this is quite subjective, and regardless the footpaths and existing crossings are already well mapped here, so there's no reason to place crossing=no along the way like this.

167686106 7 months ago

I saw that thanks. I think around where Kathmandu is is the furthest the shop part goes, but that's okay.

168081500 7 months ago

Agree with nevw, better to use access=private. Though it's unclear to me from the imagery if this path does join up, so I've re-added the private driveway access in changeset/168116099 marking it as access=private.

164122088 7 months ago

Thanks. Regarding way/1371681902/history this is what created note/4570090 for but I forgot to map it.

I don't think highway=path is correct, I've retagged it as man%20made=wildlife%20crossing and I've been using wildlife_crossing=rope_bridge though the values aren't well defined nor have much use https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/wildlife_crossing#values

See the suburb which already has those wikidata/wikipedia tags relation/3697552

168039893 7 months ago

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1138446 is for the suburb Centennial Park, so the prior https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q61721649 was indeed correct. Furthermore the wikipedia page you added is for the suburb.

I've fixed these both now.

167513960 7 months ago

There's also building=airport_terminal has 200 uses https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/building=airport_terminal though not documented on the wiki, and seems like other terminal buildings also use building=transportation.

osm.wiki/Any_tags_you_like suggests that it's okay to start inventing new tags if there's no good existing tag, indeed this is how new tags come about. People start using them and eventually as the usage is refined they get documented as in-use, or they go through a proposal and get documented as approved.

I can't see any glaring issues with `privacy=limited` in this case.

In any case note=* is used to inform other mappers but in this case description=* would be better as that's for informing map users.

I'll update this to restore the privacy tag but also convert the note to a description.
