This was the original tag. However, it has various problems - for example, it makes it hard to render a lock as a single icon if there are two tags (one for each end) and in a staircase lock, things get even more confusing. > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:lock > Says to tag either both ends or just use a single node. This was created to deal with the above problem. For high-resolution mapping, use it to tag the water way between the gates as "lock=yes". For low-resolution mapping, just add a node to the canal and tag it. > lock=yes > lock_name=Withrington Bottom Lock When you are tagging a way, you can't use name= because that will already contain the name of the canal. Hence lock_name=. > I have then seen people use name_1=5 to tell you the lock number. Ick. Please use "ref" for this. If you are mapping carefully, I'd suggest the tags you want are lock=yes on the waterway section, lock_name for the name, and ref for the number if present. If you want to add waterway=lock_gate to the two ends as well, knock yourself out.
