#21616 new enhancement

RFC: If a relation has wikidata tag hinder deletion of relation

Reported by: katpatuka Owned by: team
Priority: normal Milestone:
Component: Core Version:
Keywords: delete relation wikidata Cc: katpatuka

Description

Case: someone removed all but two members of D300 highway route in Turkey (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7603864) but at least the relation hadn't been deleted.

So I got the idea: if a relation would have been deleted too it would have been much more difficult to rollback the deletion and/or recreate a new relation with the original members. But if relations would be connected via wikidata item a error msg or at least a warning msg could popup hindering the easy deletion of relations.

If it's

  • intentional, then removing the wiki tag bypasses the check
  • unintentional, then use reverter plugin, but in all cases look for deleted relations in the upload dialog.

JOSM already warns when you delete a relation, no matter what tags it has.

But if a wikidata item additionally has the reverse statement OpenStreetMap relation ID (Property:P402) set, which implements a more important connection between OSM and WD/WP, it should IMHO be made more difficult to delete that relation.

I've no idea why JOSM (or any other editor) should treat such a relation (or any other OSM object) special. If there is a good reason to delete a relation why should it matter if it has a wikidata tag or wikidata refers to it?
Users have deleted all kinds of objects in the past. It is expected that an important object will be restored soon enough.
