It is proposed to remove the rendering of waterway=wadi from Openstreetmap-carto, the style used in the "Standard" layer on openstreetmap.org - see https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/3931
As discussed back in January 2015, the tag waterway=wadi is ambiguous, because it is was used both for dry valleys and for intermittent waterways. See https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2015-January/thread.html http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway%3Dwadi has been listed as deprecated since then.It is recommended to use waterway=river/waterway=stream + intermittent=yes for waterways, natural=valley for valleys. Since that time the usage of waterway=wadi has dropped from 18,000 to 6,000, while intermittent=yes + waterway has increased from less than 800k to over 2 million now. Please comment on https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/3931 if there are any problems with dropping this tag. Also consider checking your areas for features that might be more clearly tagged with natural=valley or waterway=stream/river + intermittent (usually this takes local knowledge of the area, so it is not recommended to retag features which you have not visited in person). - Joseph Eisenberg _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
