[Tagging] Ambiguous translations of waterway=dam - should be moved to man_made=dam

2015-04-15 Thread Lists
Hi We have problems in Brazil with the abiguity of translation of the word “dam”, resulting in new users tagging the waterbody as waterway=dam (translates represa), instead of the dam structure (translates represa). It seems like both the namespace (waterway) and the fact that iD only shows

But I'd be willing to bet that most trails are not part of a network of other trails or a route but are stand-alone. The trails I once hiked in the Adirondack Mountains in New York State all have names and trailheads but, with a couple of exceptions, are not part of any route. I think the mixed
