Who

I, Mateusz Konieczny using my bot account

contact

message via OSM I will respond also to PMs to the bot account. In both cases I will be notified about incoming PMs via email and notifications in OSM editors.

What

Retagging maxspeed:advised=* to maxspeed:advisory=*.

Cases where both tags are present but with different values will be skipped.

Why

maxspeed:advisory=* is a standard way to mark advisory speed limit.

maxspeed:advised=* is an unexpected way to mark advisory speed limit.

This change will make processing OSM data for data consumer a tiny tiny bit easier. Yes, it is not one of top 100 (likely not even top 10 000) problem for them, but also is easy to fix.

disclaimer: I found it while designing https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/4282

Numbers

Large enough to make automated rather than manual edit worth it.

How

maxspeed:advised=* tag would be replaced by maxspeed:advisory=*

Cases where both tags are present but with different values will be skipped. maxspeed:advised:forward=* maxspeed:advised:backward=* maxspeed:advised:conditional=* and similar would be also moved but they are not used.

An example:
state before a mechanical edit:

state after a mechanical edit:

Changeset would be described and tagged with tags that mark it as automatic, provide link to discussion approving edit, link repository with source code etc. It would include at least


Changeset would be split into small areas to avoid continent-sized bounding boxes. As this tag is on buildings it is not expected that any object will force bounding box to be extremely large.

Edits would be generated by an osmapi based program.
