#5016: Simple mode still uses deprecated power=* tags ----------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: compdude | Owner: potlatch-dev@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: potlatch2 | Version: Keywords: tagging, power, deprecated | ----------------------------------------+---------------------------- When you go edit power-related things in Simple mode, the tags it adds to certain nodes and ways are ones that have been deprecated.
* When you select "Substation," it adds the tag {{{power=station}}} to the selected node or way. However, [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:power%3Dstation the wiki page for power=station] says that tag has been deprecated since January 2013. Change this so that the tag {{{power=substation}}} (not {{{power=sub_station}}}, as that tag has been recently deprecated and replaced with {{{power=substation}}}) is added instead when one selects "Substation" from the menu. You can also add tags that denote the type of substation, be it a transmission substation, distribution substation, or converter substation (from AC to DC and vice versa). See the [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:power%3Dsubstation wiki page for power=substation] for more info. * When you are editing a {{{power=generator}}} node/way in Simple mode there is a pull-down menu where you can select the power source. This uses the tag {{{power_source=*}}}, which also appears to be deprecated because its [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:power_source wiki page] redirects to the page for the {{{generator:source=*}}} tag. There is also a new {{{generator:method=*}}} tag, a {{{generator:output=*}}} tag, and a {{{generator:type=*}}}. Please add these tags to the simple mode. There are a few other things that, when selected, add the wrong tags to the selected way or node: * Selecting Transformer from the menu adds the {{{power=sub_station}}} tag to the selected way/node. First of all, substations don't always have transformers in them, so this is the wrong tag to be adding. Anyway, there is a new tag specifically for transformers, which is {{{power=transformer}}}, so please change this. Also, a transformer is best mapped as a node rather than a way, so maybe make it so that this option is only available when a node is selected. * The Power Plant (Station) option adds the tag {{{power=generator}}}. There is now a tag called {{{power=plant}}} that can be used to map the power plant as a whole. Many plants contain multiple generators; these are best mapped as a node, so make it so you can add the power=generator tag only to nodes. I know this is a lot of things to change, but I would really appreciate it if you did change these things so that new users will stop using deprecated tags.
