Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Create node with
is_in:continent=Eurasia - Run validator
What is the expected result?
Validator offers to remove it as unwanted or this tag is listed at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Discardable_tags
What happens instead?
Nothing
Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.
Note that this tag is highly dubious, as both division Earth landmass into continents[1] and boundaries between continents[2] are mostly subjective and unverifiable.
OSM is not a place to map multiple unverifiable models of global-sized objects. And adding tens of thousands of is_in:continent to various objects is the worst way to do this.
This proposal (especially discardable tag part) appeared during discussing https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edits/Mateusz_Konieczny_-_bot_account/remove_is_in:continent_in_USA - see https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-us/2019-March/019332.html
