Ideally, there would be some kind of prompt or reminder: you recently tagged a node with shop=antiques; if this was intentional, please go to whatever/tags/shop and add the new value with a description. Or, you recently tagged a node with shop=literature, but the database (visible at whatever/tags/shop/literature) suggests that this is deprecated in favour of shop=bookshop. Perhaps you would like to change it? -- Ed Avis <e...@waniasset.com> _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
