Yes, I agree that for something like landcover=hedge an even stronger warning is needed.
Some context for why Warin and I are talking about this: The second section of the key page Key:produce has long mentioned the differences between produce=* and product=*. I added to that section, mentioning that crop=* is used more frequently than produce=* to specify the annual crops grown on farmland, and trees=*, used more frequently than produce=* to specify the trees found in an orchard. I probably should have mentioned that aquaculture=* is the more common tag to specify the type of organisim in a landuse=aquaculture feature (e.g. shrimp). But this addition was first reverted, and after I restored it, now it has been moved it to a "See Also" section. I disagree with this. if we are going to mention the difference between produce=* and product=*, there should be a mention of the other tags, otherwise it appears that product=* is the only similar or overlapping or synonymous tag that needs to be considered before picking produce=*. There was also a statement added that "crop=* can not be used for all produce=*, but produce=* can be used for all crop=*" which is not accurate, based on usage of the tags in the database. I would prefer that a proposal be made to deprecate a key (eg to replace crop=*, trees=* and aquaculture=* with produce=*), if this is the intention, rather than removing or de-emphasizing factual information that does not fit a certain narrative. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:produce#Crop_should_not_be_added_to_the_disambiguation_of_produce_vs_product_section On 8/26/19, Paul Allen <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, 26 Aug 2019 at 13:18, Joseph Eisenberg <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> I agree, Paul. >> The most important things on a wiki page are 1) The description of the >> tag: what sort of feature or property does it represent and 2) How >> does one distinguish it from overlapping tags?
