And the people who care about OSM and the way imports and automated
edits affects OSM, but don't use Loomio and are not connected to OSM UK?
What should they do?
Everyone in OSM has access to the Wiki.
Having said that, I'm not sure what a vote will do. OSM is very clearly
not a democracy in any sense. Voting tends to give any outcome the
veneer of consultation and listening to feedback, but in practice so few
people vote that the process is meaningless.

Hi Rodrigo
Before you create a vote on the wiki, can I suggest a different
method? "OSM UK" has started using Loomio for discussions and votes,
and it generally seems to work out well. I think Loomio is designed
for the purpose of making good decisions together:

I'm sorry, I don't wish to confuse you with tools and differing opinions...
Cheers

Thanks all of you for your messages.
As a new joiner, I could not ask for more than other members engaging in such a
passionate way :)
It's fair to say that there is no clear consensus of whether the proposal, in
its current form, is acceptable or not. So, I am going to create a voting
section on the wiki page to help us visualise what people think
However, before I do that I would like to reply to a point that was made by Andy
Andy,
I'm not actually convinced that's a problem - as others have said, web browsers are perfectly capable of converting
"www.mypub.com" into either "https://www.mypub.com"or ""http://www.mypub.com"as
appropriate, so this doesn't really add any value. "Letting the browser sort it out" is a great approach as it
can deal with now/near future things such as removal TLS 1.0 and 1.1 support as well.
This is not true based on my experience. I just tested on the latest version of
Chrome and Firefox and, if the URL scheme is not specified, they both open the
the URL using http even if https is also available for it.
You may have experienced a behaviour by which the user gets redirected from the
http url to the https one but that depends on the configuration of the site
server which is not always set-up.
This is also well documented for Firefox here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/URL_Bar_Algorithm
I see value in updating schemaless :website tags with the https version if
available.

The change you plan to execute is of limited use. Yes, it ensures more

"wrong" URLs can be added at any time).
This seems like an argument for never fixing any error.
So what your edit does is, it "touches" lots of objects and adds no
meaningful information whatsoever.
This statement is false, not least because in some cases "http://"; is
added, in others "https://";; each of those - and the difference
between them - conveys meaningful information.
It creates load on the database
The level of load is trivial. Have our database maintainers ever said
that a load of such small magnitude is problematic?
There are many, many better ways to contribute to OSM than runnning a
useless automated conformity edit. Take a notebook or mobile editor, go
outside, check if the phone booths on OSM are still there on the ground,
add a few opening times, or even trees for that matter - a single hour
of such original work is more useful to OSM that what you are proposing
here.
Denigrating another's contribution - a valid and valuable contribution
- in this manner is antithetical to the spirit in which OSM activity
is supposed to be conducted.
Remember: OSM is not an IT project.
Of course it is. "Information technology (IT) is the use of computers
to store, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate data or information." [1]
