The point I was trying to make is that in the iD editor, the field "inscription" comes up as a default and is mis-used for descriptions. I would like to see a way to prevent that.
Obviously, a signpost has an inscription, but that field maybe comes up for signpost which I would presume is the primary key. I usually map signposts/ guideposts in situ rather than in iD, so I don't know off the top of my head what fields come up for it. Anne On 04/11/2022 16:01, Brian M. Sperlongano wrote:
I'll offer a well-known example from my country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welcome_to_Fabulous_Las_Vegas_sign It's on the US National Register of Historic Places which should qualify it as a historic sign. Although I suppose those in Europe would just consider the sign to be a little old.

I think that's the "fault" of the iD editor form for historic features. The inscription field only makes sense for memorials IMHO. I used it for graves, crosses, monuments, amenity = drinking_water, man_made = signpost, * amenity = bicycle_parking * * I see it also being validly used for many other objects. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging_______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
