[OSM-talk] Linking to the wiki's tag description pages from the website
I've submitted a patch which would add links from the website to the wiki's tag description pages: http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/2289 Example here, note the localized links: http://u.nix.is/~avar/6.html RichardF pointed out that the wiki pages were mostly crap. That's true, but perhaps exposing them to regular editors like this will lead to an influx of fixes. So the code is there, but is it a good idea to add these links? ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

yes, excellent idea! I've been trying to improve as many tag and key pages as I can, and these links will help motivate that. Incidentally, there are quite a few improvements that could be done to the browse pages - it'd be great to be able to view a way page, for example, and then browse other nearby features with the same tags. A top-level browse page (maybe linking through to different categories of features, separated by country then area) would be good too - basically, giving people more ways of exploring the data we have. Of course, some of these are fairly resource-heavy queries, but a most of the indexes could be built offline and heavily cached. Incidentally, are there any plans to build some of the XAPI functions into the core API? This is pretty essential IMO.
