    1111||= '''Property''' =||= '''Description''' =||
    1212|| '''name''' || The name of the imagery source. Use English here only. These names can then be translated into all supported languages via [https://translations.launchpad.net/josm/trunk/+pots/josm Launchpad]. (Optional attribute: {{{lang}}} containing the language code to give a translated name here in the xml file. However this should be avoided. This also overrides the translation from Launchpad.) ||
    … …  
    3636|| '''metadata-header''' || {{{header-name}}} attribute specifies a header returned by tile server, that will be shown as {{{metadata-key}}} attribute in Show Tile Info dialog ||
    3737|| '''valid-georeference''' || Set to {{{true}}} if imagery source is properly aligned and does not need imagery offset adjustments. This is used for OSM based sources too. ||
    38 || '''category''' || Type of imagery, {{{photo}}} aerial or satellite photo, {{{map}}} a map, {{{historicmap}}} historic or otherwise outdated map, {{{osmbasedmap}}} map based on OSM data, {{{historicphoto}}} historic or otherwise outdated aerial or satellite photo, {{{other}}} any other type ||
     38|| '''category''' || Type of imagery, {{{photo}}} aerial or satellite photo, {{{map}}} a map, {{{historicmap}}} historic or otherwise outdated map, {{{osmbasedmap}}} map based on OSM data, {{{historicphoto}}} historic or otherwise outdated aerial or satellite photo, {{{other}}} any other type or WMTS/wms_endpoint sources containing layers of different categories. Some notes: the historic variant of photo and map should be used either if the source shows very old data or if there is a newer variant of the same source from the same provider available. E.g. for the entries orthophoto_2016, orthophoto_2017 and orthophoto_2018 use {{{photo}}} for the 2018 variant and {{{historicphoto}}} for the other two. If a source is specialized on one feature, e.g. shows only landuses or only roads or only buildings, use {{{other}}} rather than {{{map}}}.||
    3939||= '''Attribute''' =||= '''Description''' =||
    4040|| '''last-check''' || Date of last check of the data to be valid and accessible, in the form YYYY-MM-DD  ||

    110110=== Other important information ===
    111111
    112  * Use bounds as last property of an entry for better overview, as the bounds block is usually the longest.
     112 * Please use the preffered order of properties for better readability: {{{name}}}, {{{id}}}, {{{category}}}, then everything else, and at the end {{{icon}}}, {{{bounds}}}. (The last two are usually the longest.)
    113113 * JOSM uses [/maps this] URL to fetch the imagery sources. The URL can be customized in the advanced preferences (key {{{imagery.layers.sites}}}). Using multiple sources at the same time is possible.
    114114 * Normally JOSM ignores any elements that it does not recognize. However, it will skip the entire imagery entry, when one of the unsupported tags has the attribute {{{mandatory='true'}}}. This is only relevant, when essential new features are added, but old versions of JOSM are still in use.
