Re: [Tagging] refugee camp

2019-06-11 Thread Dave Swarthout
I did not add a refugee=yes tag. I tagged it as a place=town because my quick search for alternatives came up empty and there are about 50,000 people living there. That way, at least the camp name shows up on maps and is searchable. I'll retag it based on what we decide here. On Tue, Jun 11, 2019

[Tagging] landuse=reservoir vs water=reservoir

2019-06-11 Thread Tomas Straupis
Hello landuse=reservoir is from original OpenStreetMap water tagging scheme. water=reservoir is the newer one ("all blue is natural=water") with no advantages over previous one. Original (landuse=reservoir) is still more prominent even with Mapbox/iD's aggressive push for the later one.

Re: [Tagging] landuse=reservoir vs water=reservoir

2019-06-11 Thread Peter Elderson
I agree with Marcin preference for natural=water, water=reservoir, because it keeps landuse open for the actual use of the land that contains a reservoir. I dislike landuse-within-landuse. But I agree with Tomas that this preference does not make it a "better" option, and the wiki should not state

Hi, Did you think about adding refugee=yes tag on place=* ? There were also an idea, if you have the boundary to develop rules around boundary, similar to boundary = administrative to boundary=refugee see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Refugee_Camp_Boundaries I also
