Validator does not know many relation-types

[skyper]

Validator does not know type=site, associatedStreet, TMC, bridge and other either common used or approved relations-types. Instead you get a warning about an unknown relation-type.

Actually JOSM startup page already tells you about that fact. You can help by providing new entries or the relation presets menu.

Replying to stoecker:

The way the presets work in JOSM right now, I rather clone an existing relation or manually create the relation, which is much faster than using presets.

I also get a warning from the validator for type=waterway, altough this entry is recognized in the relation view and translated to "Gewässer".
How exactly can I provide new entries for the relation presets menu?

See data/defaultpresets.xml. At the beginning is the description, ad the end the relations. Basically you need to specify a block which contains the tags and one with the roles of a relation:

Example for multipolygon:

        <item name="Multipolygon" icon="presets/empty.png" type="relation">
            <link href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:multipolygon"
                  de.href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Relation:multipolygon"
                  fr.href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:Relation:multipolygon" />
            <label text="Edit Multipolygon" />
            <key key="type" value="multipolygon" />
            <optional>
                <text key="name" text="Name" default="" delete_if_empty="true" />
            </optional>
            <roles>
                <role key="outer" text="outer segment" requisite="required" type="way" />
                <role key="inner" text="inner segment" requisite="optional" type="way" />
            </roles>
        </item>

BTW: What a type of relation should "type=waterway" be?

[bundesrainer]

Thanks. The waterway relation type is for rivers, canals:

Though still a proposal it is already used for many rivers:
