For the record (so people reading this later do not get a wrong impression) - 'deprecated' in the OSM context means that there is a community consensus that something is not to be used any more in new mapping. The wiki, editor presets etc. are not authoritive in that regard and deprecation does not supersede the freedom of mappers to map how they see fit (in other words: it is not forbidden to use deprecated tags). And automatic fixes in JOSM are not normally mechanical edits because they are only applied to features that are (manually) edited otherwise. Applying the same 'fixes' mechanically to all features with a certain tag however is a mechanical edit and needs to be discussed on a per-case basis - always, no matter how trivial, useful or obvious they might seem to anyone. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
