New/duplicate schema with water=reservoir only launched because iD coders decided to skip standard IT processes of product development (or were not familiar with the basics of IT) and simply went for what they personally liked, not what was better, and introduced water=reservoir as the only way to tag, all this at the time when water=reservoir usage was close to zero! And the only reason for change of stat starting 2019 is because coders of iD decided to lie to the users that landuse=reservoir is deprecated which it never was and started replacing landuse=reservoir under their highly controversial disguise of "upgrade tags". So the change of statistics is not the preference of mappers but preference of some nerds. > Is it time to more directly recommend that mappers favor natural=water + > water=reservoir > *instead of* rather than *in addition to* landuse=reservoir? I would propose to deprecate water=reservoir and even more - add guards so that such pointless/nerdy duplicate standards would not be introduced in the future. Note that one of the main nerdy points of this schema was to have a possibility to write sql easier (somebody has problems with "and/or") and this would also require riverbanks to fall into this new water schema. And riverbank clearly does not fall into that even with iD lying about it too. Therefore the only point has failed and this stupidity is spreading havoc in tagging of such prominent water features for more than 10 years now. P.S. There is quite an easy solution to have a separate iD instance for beginners with correct tagging presets loaded. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
