iD is not suitable for any complex editing by design. I believe this is not a reason to adjust the map data to fit iD's restrictions. Map data should not be adjusted for a particular piece of software i.e. editor/renderer [1]. Furthermore, iD has quite a long history of controversy [2] including related to mapping techniques it promoted.

Did you try to find out why was the landuse mapped this way before declaring multipolygons useless and mass-converting them?

Mapping usually isn't one-off action. Once mapped, landuse may need further editing e.g. in order to add previously missed detail or reflect changes on the ground. For me editing landuse mapped as 'simple polygons' is significantly more time-consuming and requires extra effort compared to multipolygons. Should I expect you to maintain and refine the landuse you converted?

Are there any mapping guidelines (OSM wiki?) stating that it was not a valid way to map landuse with multipolygons? Or is it just your personal view on uselessness of certain map features or mapping techniques?

While you correctly admit that it may be easier to use multipolygons to map landuse, it also reduces maintenance and further editing/refinement effort, especially in densely built-up areas. How can you know in advance if I plan to maintain the landuse in question long-term or 'just move a few nodes around'?

Labdien!

Jau dažus gadu desmitus tas nav "slepenais objekts", nekas saistīts ar sakariem vai radio/TV tur arī nav palicis. Turklāt, cik es zinu, "rezerves teleradio centrs" bija citā vietā.

The article you linked clearly says that MoD has prepared a draft law on this military range, it is not effective yet.

There is a wiki page on lifecycle prefixes [1] that includes 'proposed:'.

Hi Tramparam Parampampam,

there is no military landuse yet, it is subject to further approval by parliament, hence the proposed:landuse tag. Also, data should not be adjusted to make things 'visible'.

Hi somix,

These names seem to have quite limited use mostly by real estate agents and are not widely known, so should go into either alt_name or loc_name.

Hi,

While separately mapped sidewalks provide visual information (for the users of certain OSM renders), they also make poor quality data.

Consider two examples [1][2]. Would anyone actually follow the suggested paths when shorter ones are obvious? This results in less precise distance calculations and routing engines providing longer routes, in some cases up to 1--2 kilometers of extra walking.

A solution would be either adding 'virtual' paths to connect ways on the different sides of the street, or tagging sidewalks on the main way, the latter approach being equally valid [3] as the separate sidewalks and likely requiring less maintenance effort.

It still doesn't look right according to the 'function rather than legal status' principle. Using highway=living_street on every way affected by the sign 533 would reduce the detail e.g. no service=driveway or service=parking_aisle.

Mapping lawns as landuse makes a pretty picture with the default rendering style but somewhat poor quality map data. It may appear quite hard to distinguish between landuse=grass that is actual landuse, landuse=grass on top of other landuse that is just a lawn and landuse=grass that intersects other landuse by error.

These highways in Imanta are service ways for apartment blocks rather than actual living streets.

Highways are mapped according to their function, not legal status [1]. While the sign 533 [2] imposes certain traffic rules, it does not change what these ways are used for. There is living_zone=yes tag [3] to map highways affected by the sign 533.

A lawn or any grass patch inside landuse=residential or landuse=retail isn't landuse=grass. Generally landuse should not overlap [1].

There was an attempt to introduce the landcover tagging scheme [2] to map the actual surface, but it does not appear widely used.

Toponyms usually should not be translated literally. If known, customary name locals use to refer to the feature is preferred [1], otherwise names are represented by transcription [2]. Also, compare search results for Золитудская улица [3] and улица Золитудес [4].

Hello,

what is the source of name:ru tag here? I've never seen anyone actually use Золитудская улица referring to Zolitūdes iela.

Hello somix,

it's outline consists of at least two different types of fences not yet tagged in detail.

The wiki page on building=* tag [1] allows any commonly used value found in Taginfo. As of now, there are 281 objects tagged building=manor [2].

Labdien,

tagad listē iet runa par addr:* tagu sakārtošanu.

addr:place ir domāts to adresācijas objektu nosaukumiem kuri VARIS datos ir līdzvērtīgi ielam, bet kuriem nav atbilstošu highway=*, piemēram, Zirgu sala Liepajā, Pils rajons Jēkabpilī, Vērmanes dārzs Rīgā.

Ar addr:unit Rīgā ir apzīmēti 'neoficiālie' korpusi, piemēram Tallinas iela 32, vai rūpnieciskās teritorijās, kur uz vairākam ēkam attiecas viens VARIS ieraksts.

Mappping sidewalks separately is not necessary where they already are tagged on the main street way.

Hello, the sidewalks deleted in this changeset were already mapped with the the sidewalk tags [1], there is no need for additional highway=footway ways.

[1] sidewalk=*

This is rather a parking lane than a separate designated parking space. It is mapped using parking:lane tag [1] on the appropriate part of the street [2].
