[OSM-dev] Wiki - VisualEditor

2014-04-08 Thread Andreas Goss

Can we install the Visual Editor in the Wiki?
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor

I think this would make editing a lot easier for everybody, especially 
new users who are unfamiliar with the formatting.

The Visual Editor makes some things easier that aren't that hard in
the first place, but the integration of advanced features such as
templates suffers. As templates are used a lot in our wiki, even
within text paragraphs (e.g. the Key and Tag templates), this is a
major drawback.

The feature is also officially still in Beta, and I'm not sure how
well it works with other already installed or desirable extensions.


But just because they aren't that hard to work with doesn't mean it is 
convenient or easy for non-tech savvy people.
Bold, cursiuve and h2 are the only formattings I can easily add right 
now - different headings, larger/smaller text, lists... all require you 
to know how the formatting works. Also even if I understand how 
Wikitables work, I still have to look up MediaWiki for the 100% correct 
sytax every time, having a button that creates a table within 5 clicks 
would encourange people to use such things.


And when it comes to templates it might even make it easier to use some 
of them and the ability to look them up might enourage people to use them.

[OSM-dev] Wiki Pageview Stats

2014-07-04 Thread Andreas Goss
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but are there and stats 
available for the page views of the OSM Wiki?


Found this: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Stats showing the access 
statistics etc for the wiki pages.


But this Link is dead:

Re: [OSM-dev] Upcoming openstreetmap-carto changes

* Rendering other shop values with a generic icon


Awesome. Stopped counting the times people created notes and reported a 
missing business on the map just to discover it was already there, but 
not displayed. I hope craft=* and office=* will follow. Would probably 
encourage more people to map them and report missing/wrong POIs.
