Mechanical Edits/Wildmaps/fix ref:UIC and name:UIC
Page content created in accordance with the guidelines on Automated Edits code of conduct#Document and discuss your plans.
Who
I, Wildmaps, will perform this edit using my bot account: Wildmaps-Bot.
What
I propose to systematically replace the following tags:
uic_ref=*→ref:UIC=*uic_name=*→name:UIC=*source=*(when referring specifically to the UIC reference) →source:UIC=*
Why
This edit aims to improve tagging consistency by using the established ref:* and name:* namespace conventions for UIC location reference numbers. The ref:* namespace is widely used in OpenStreetMap, and applying it here improves clarity and consistency of the data.
How
Editing is limited to objects with uic_ref=* and uic_name=* tag.
state before a mechanical edit:
state after a mechanical edit:
ref:UIC=*name:UIC=*source:UIC=*
After community approval, relevant wiki pages will be updated to reflect this change.
