#10007 closed enhancement (fixed)

change "public" into "yes" in access presets and in validator

Description (last modified by mkoniecz)

There is a "public" value in access presets. AFAIK it is synonymous to "yes" in the access context, is way less used (13:388) and is undocumented on wiki. It is not appearing in iD editor.

I suggest removal of "public" from all access presets and adding rule in validator to change <access_key>=public to <access_key>=yes (via fix button).

I do not like access=yes. Better use explicit keys, but well, some like to explicitly tag that access is allowed.

Thought by default access=yes applies to all ways.
I do not know what people intended to describe when they did use designated,official or public, but the wiki page really invites to tag this way.

comment:7 by mkoniecz, 10 years ago

I am not a great fan of access=yes but it is certainly better than access=public that appears only in JOSM presets.

comment:8 by goldfndr, 10 years ago

FYI, it is documented on the wiki at amenity=toilets (and also at amenity=grit_bin). Changing defaultpresets.xml line 4058 to remove public, will get it off of the default list. (Try yourself by saving/extracting it then change line 4058 then change Internal Preset to point to the local file instead of "resource://data/defaultpresets.xml".)

Still, it clearly should be reported by validator and not suggested for things that are not toilets or grit_bin.

I encountered it on highways, playgrounds etc.

Thanks, that explains the usage of public as counter-part to private. If you want to state that an amenity/leisure is for the public it might be useful.

I prefer public over yes for playgrounds but both values are useless on highways. How about excluding leisure and amenity but check all the rest.

Why it is better? IMHO it makes parsing data more complicated for no gain (I processed OSM data on occasion and discovering yet another pointless variation of tagging is IMHO one of the most irritating things).

comment:12 by mkoniecz, 10 years ago

this bug was present also in iD - see https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/2280

comment:13 by mkoniecz, 9 years ago

This bug is still present and it continues to promote undocumented duplicate of existing tag.

comment:14 by Klumbumbus, 9 years ago

Milestone: 16.03

The toilet wiki page was changed one year ago (public->yes) and I just changed the grit bin page.
In my opinion it is better to use yes instead of public everywhere. So I'm gonna change the preset now. Since there is no real agreement for the deprecation and the usage numbers for public are higher than for yes (for toilets and grit bins) I will not add a validator warning at this point.
