Hi, this issue does pop up on the mailing lists sometimes. Here are my thoughts from the last time: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2015-June/025438.html <https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2015-June/025438.html>
To recap, here is what I would and would not support in iD: - I would not support arbitrary free-text warning messages popping up as users try to edit things. This is too susceptible for abuse. - I would support a standardized tag scheme that lets us warn a mapper about conditions that anybody would understand. These warnings would have very narrow scope and attach to areas. We would translate them to a user’s native language. e.g. `editor:warning=outdated_imagery` “Imagery in this area may be outdated. Please do not make edits without local knowledge." `editor:warning=border_dispute` “There is an ongoing border dispute in this area. Please do not make edits without local knowledge." `editor:warning=current_event` “A current event may have affected ground conditions in this area. Please do not make edits without local knowledge." - I would support a standardized tag scheme that lets us restrict certain edits. (with the caveat that a determined user could remove the tag and edit the thing anyway). e.g. `editor:restriction=authoritative_data` `editor:restriction:source=nyc.gov` “You may not move this item because its position has been surveyed with high accuracy." - I would support API-based restrictions (if the OSM API supported such a thing, which it doesn't), e.g. to counter abuse, edit wars, vandalism. We already poll the `/api/capabilities` endpoint every few minutes, so maybe it makes sense to stick API-based editing restrictions in there. e.g. “Editing in this location is currently unavailable due to high amounts of vandalism." Anyway feel free to discuss here, or on the iD issue list: :-) https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues <https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues> Thanks, Bryan > On Sep 26, 2015, at 4:43 PM, moltonel <molto...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > On 26 September 2015 19:05:09 GMT+01:00, "André Pirard" > <a.pirard.pa...@gmail.com> wrote: >> It is >> <keyname>:warning=<text> >> which acts only when that key is changed. >> geometry:warning=<text> to protect the coordinates of the element >> name:warning=<text> to protect its name. >> Those tags do not warn against changing other tags. > > May I suggest 'edit_warning', or something else that explicit (because a > 'warning' key could be used for so many purposes) ?
