Hello,
To launch discussion on the message tag
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:message> which can be
associated with advertising tag
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:advertising>
I created this page
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:message> some time ago.
In fact my intent was to make a *proposal* and not to make
directly a wiki page as if it were already discussed and approved.
My fault.
So I need some advice to move this page into a "proposal" state.
And then I would appreciate any comment on this proposal to
make it better
IMHO it's already too late ;-)
Dated .. 2015 ... way too late.
This should have been a proposal when you first set up the page, now
there are some 600 uses which are in line with the key definition
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/message#values
and there are references on other tag pages like the one for
advertising. By now I'd see this tag as somehow introduced.
Anyway, thank you for pointing it out. I wouldn't worry too much, if
there isn't much criticism coming now, you can consider the tag
approved by usage, many tags have been introduced like this.
The status should not be set to 'approved'. You could use
'status=in_use' or 'status=defacto' but not approved.
Regarding the tag itself: I don't like the tag name very much, because
"message" is very generic for what is intended for a specific use case
(type of message of an advertising device).
And the 'advertising' has a few problems too ... why 'size'? Why not
just use the existing height and with keys?
If you wanted 'approval' then you need to 'discuss' so as to get ideas
on how to improve it before you get to experiment with it .. and then
vote ...
