The "imports" mailing list would be the right place to discuss it, if
it's a bulk edit (is it?). It doesn't seem to have GB-specific
implications for this list IMHO (even though this particular changeset
is of course within gb).

It's pretty well-established that wikipedia=* is supposed to reference
the wikipedia article about the feature itself, not the operator. The
wiki page has, for more than 5 years, given the guidance: "only
provide links to articles which are 'about the feature'. A link from
St Paul's cathedral in London to an article about St Pauls is fine. A
link from a bus depot to the company that operates it is not." So
irrespective of how the edit was done - in what sense is this
"changing the behaviour of a well-known tag"?

[Talk-GB] Changing wikipedia links

2018-10-01 Thread Neil Matthews
Looks like an automated edit - albeit a human curated one - without
discussion, certainly on Talk-GB.

Seems to be moving wikipedia links for branded stores to
brand:wikipedia, e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/63071623

My concern is  changing the behaviour of a well-known tag (worldwide).

Cheers,

Neil

P.S. presumably brand:wikimedia will be next?

[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Woodgate Valley country park

2018-10-01 Thread Andy Robinson
My daughter tells me that there are some newly created or surfaced paths in
Woodgate Valley that don't appear to be on OSM if anyone fancies some fresh
air.

Cheers
Andy
