It does show up. Click on the little globe icon on the upper right part of
the page (to the left of the coordinates). The WikiMiniAtlas will popup
showing an OSM-derived basemap. You may need to zoom in a bit to see the
outline of the building.

Hi,
Here's some feedback:
1. It seems turn restrictions are not taken into account in the routing?
2. It seems that the internal routing graph has too few nodes from where
you can start or end. I think this might be a result of the optimizations
you have performed to make the router fast. So if

Hi Alex,
What do you mean by "large"? Do you mean changesets that span a large
area (spanning whole continents)? Or changesets that have a lot of
objects modified (perhaps more than 1000)?
Based on the examples you provided, it seems you mean the former. Is
this correct?

The easiest way is to get the shortlink URL and append "?m" to the end.

This is to reduce false positives.

Hi guys,
The spam on users' diaries and users' pages is getting quite annoying. Some
user just now flooded the main diary page with drug ads. Using rel=nofollow
is apparently not much of a deterrent.
I think one really effective way of dealing with this is to reject addition
of a user description
Inasmuch as the underlying concepts are identical (more or less), I don't
like the idea that we can use different key name or values to represent
those concepts.

This is great!
But which OSM components does this cover? I'm assuming this only covers the
main OSM website (and the wiki indirectly since MediaWiki is already in
TranslateWiki) but not Potlatch, and the other editors.

I don't favor editors stripping out created_by=* tags automatically whenever
a user edits an area. These changes mask the actual edits the user makes and
makes analyzing c
While we can create a common abbreviation dictionary for commonly
occuring words (like, Street -> St., Rue -> R., Saint -> St., East ->
E., Rio -> R.) and that this is something for the renderer, the
abbreviations for the proper noun parts of the names is arguably data
that is NOT for the renderer.
I've actually been thinking of suggesting an ":abbr" suffix key to all
name-accepting tags (name, name:en, name:fr, alt_name, int_name, etc.) and
the values are a semicolon-separated list of abbreviations. This is
backwards compatible since existing tools can still use the base name tags
and ignore
