[Talk-us] proposed automated edit: forested wetlands

[Nathan Edgars II]

The landuse import for Georgia (which IMO is poor-quality and should be 
deleted, but that's not going to happen) has a bunch of areas tagged as 
note = Forested Wetland with no useful natural=* tags (since 
natural=wood and natural=wetland both apply). Example: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/31457349


I propose to fix these.

But what would be the best tags to use? Would natural=wetland 
wetland=swamp (An area of waterlogged forest, with dense vegetation.) 
be correct? Or is it better to choose natural=* tag and add a 
multipolygon for the other?

But isn't a railway an obstacle for cyclists no matter what services
they support?


Sure. But that would support their being shown at close zooms, not all 
the way out at 7.

Agreed. But so is every paved road. What OCM does is give more 
prominence to a track (even one marked access=private!) than a 
residential street, for example right in the middle of here:
