Hi, Could someone have a look at the "Other crossing" section of the English language article? [1]
It used to be very confusing, but I find the current version a bit strange. The most common river crossing without a bridge should be a simple "ford=yes". Then you can add all sorts of extra information. The default the article suggests is flood_prone . This tag is used ten times less in the database, and seems like a redundant differentiation: it's just that the ford here is dry most of the time. At the time I translated the article to Spanish, I interpreted flood_prone as "usually there is a bridge, but it's probe to flooding". There's quite a difference between the articles now. On the subject, it might be useful to extend the ford/ferry with suggested tagging for seasonal effects. For example, there's a ford in dry season, and a ferry in the wet season. Or maybe we should make a general river crossing article on the wiki and refer the readers there?
