The wiki is there to document established mapping practice and to develop tagging definitions for stuff that is not yet describable (at least not up to the detail that the mapper desires), so yes, it can also be a means to establish standards, but as someone recently wrote in another thread: it is not necessary that everybody maps feature X with the same tag Y, but it is very important that everyone using tag Y does this for the same feature X. This is the reason why wikifiddling can be a real problem. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
