     2= Defaultpresets Guidelines
     3
     4Some rough guidelines for the [source:trunk/data/defaultpresets.xml defaultpresets]
     5
     6== New Tags and Values
     7Basically we have to make sure that the preset menu isn't too cluttered, because it would get hard to find the useful every-day stuff if we had too many exotic entries. New tags and values should have:
     8* a proper documentation in the [osmwiki: OSM-wiki]
     9* decent usage numbers (absolute and by number of mappers)
     10* Controversial cases (like `contact:phone=*` vs. `phone=*`) need to be decided case by case
     11* If a features is only mapped by a handful of specialists, it is better suited for an [wiki:Presets#Createnewpresets external preset]. Usually this includes tagging schemes restriced to one specific country, hobby, sport or profession.
     12
     13**Note**:
     14* When investigating [https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org taginfo], also check *where* unusual values are used.
     15 * You can use overpass API to load these object in JOSM and check in the history who created them.
