Change History (24)

comment:1 by mkoniecz, 7 years ago

building=collapsed - HOT induced mistagging, it is not a building purpose (and it is disputable whatever collapsed remains of a building are a building)

building=damaged - HOT induced mistagging, it is not a building purpose

condition=deficient/fair/good - highly suspicious subjective tagging

flood_prone=yes/no - is it really verifiable?

tunnel=no - sounds like iD induced pointless tagging

healthcare=doctor/hospital/pharmacy - looks potentially reasonable, but it duplicates existing tags (sounds like someone disliking existing tagging scheme and creating duplicate with hope that original will soon disappear)

comment:7 by mkoniecz, 6 years ago

todo=continue - based on quick look looks like an organic use ( https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/todo=continue#map )

Maybe turn all todo into fixme as long as there is no fixme tag?


leaf_type=broadl-leaved - now dropped to below 1000 level - see https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/MiC


dataset=buildings - badly done import in Washington, see for example https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/5155755 (now documented at OSM wiki as a horrible idea)


waterway=artificial - badly done import, see https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2019-August/047809.html thread (now documented at OSM wiki as a horrible idea)

(if considered as useful I may similarly review more tags)

The keys healthcare=* and healthcare:speciality=* are now in state "approved" and widely used (>200k times):
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:healthcare
The keys amenity=doctors, amenity=dentist, amenity=clinic and amenity=hospital are only in state "de facto".
Would it be time, that the Validator at least stops complaining about "Presets do not contain property key" for healthcare and healthcare:speciality?
I think there are external presets which could be used to integrate into the internal presets of JOSM.

comment:9 by mdk, 6 years ago

More general: there are several keys which are approved, but the validator complains about like Key:cash_withdrawal which is approved (since 2019-09-19), but JOSM didn't know about.
Is there a possibility to scan the wiki or taginfo for approved keys and compare it with known keys in JOSM?

Removed leaf_type=broadl-leaved as per comment:7 and the remaining ones are catched by the "x looks like y" warning.

comment:11 by anonymous, 6 years ago

Them maybe removal from list ones caught by valid "X looks like Y" also would be a good idea?

stream=intermittent - 88537

import-induced mistagging - strictly limited area ( https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/stream=intermittent#map ), appeared in one step - see https://taghistory.raifer.tech/#***/stream/intermittent

Should be intermittent=yes and mostly is https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/stream=intermittent#combinations

I will try to deimport this.

comment:18 by mkoniecz, 5 years ago

amenity=private_toilet should disappear soon, nearly all of them were added in an undiscussed import that I just reverted

See https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/58762350 https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/58760097

I added a warning for now, see #19396.
