I'm a "Best viewed on any renderer" kind of guy. :) Even though I think that your rendering is, overall, better than the standard one, I doubt you'd want the extra traffic if everyone used it. > Generally speaking mappers are pretty good at figuring out when a building > or a landuse tag is needed in addition to an existing feature tag. As I did. By finding a few examples with overpass-turbo after finding that the wiki didn't cut it, nor did iD's presets. In general, the easier it is to find the right way to do it, the more likely it is to be done right. > Outright " falsehoods to fool the renderer" are actually pretty rare. I wanted to make it clear I didn't consider either of those approaches to commit the sin of tagging for the renderer (even if that's the real reason why they were used). > Of course by all means try and improve the wiki page for a particular > feature explaining how people map things (buildings vs non-buildings). > This probably means I'm agreeing with "4" of your list of 7, Number 4 was my second choice. > but TBH anything that improves the wik iand reflects current tagging would > be good. > I'll wait to see a few more comments before I conclude that it is considered by most to be an improvement. * the fact that it currently appears on that map in English rather than Welsh is actually a bug, but that's a different issue... Since I don't speak a word of Welsh, I consider that a feature rather than a bug. :) -- Paul
