You are right. I've moved "Don't map temporary events and temporary features" to it's own main heading after Verifiability. I believe "Map what's on the ground", "Don't map historic events" and "Don't map your local legislation..." are clearly related to verifiability. The later two reference

It should be 'Don't map *incorrectly* to suit the renderer' All tags can be used for rendering otherwise we'd just have black dots & lines. DaveF On 04/07/2019 04:53, Joseph Eisenberg wrote: I've reordered and reworded several sections of the Good practice page:

As mentioned, I plan to significantly shorten the "Keep the history" section, with a link to the longer version at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Keep_the_history instead. I would probably support shortening the page even further, but I've already had several edits reverted by other users

Hmm... I would be all in favor of extending the See also... section and shorten drastically the page to keep it simple. Some of the good practices there are second order, don't you think? Keeping history compared to Tag for the renderer, for example. Yves Le 4 juillet 2019 05:53:23 GMT+02:00,
