Re: [OSM-talk-ie] Untagged ways

Yes, just add `(user:NAME)`, or `(uid:NUMBER)`.

e.g.:

     [bbox:{{bbox}}][out:xml][timeout:250];
     (
       way(if:count_tags() == 0)(uid:12345); - (relation; >;);
     );
     out meta; >; out meta qt;

You can find your uid by looking at an object which was last changed by
you, and then "Download XML", and "uid" should be next to "user". You
can also replace `(uid:NNN)` with `(user:"name")`.

Hi Rory,

Thanks very much for that, it found what I was looking for. I tried it for nodes, but nearly broke Overpass Turbo. :) Is there a way to narrow it down by user? Yes I could download all the results, but that seems laborious.

In trying to map power=minor_line http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/Bji sometimes I add temporary ways where I spot a short section of line, but sometimes it's a false positive (tractor trail across field, ploughed field, JPEG artifact, etc.). Sometimes not all the temporary ways get deleted.

Yes! This overpass query finds them:

      [bbox:{{bbox}}][out:xml][timeout:250];
      (
        way(if:count_tags() == 0); - (relation; >;);
      );
      out meta; >; out meta qt;

I have that saved in JOSM's "Download from Overpass API" feature. After
downloading, Ctrl-F to search for "type:way", then add them to to the
todo list plugin window, and work through them one by one. Unfortunately
due to how JOSM downloads them, you can't use "continuous download" to
make it easier.

It's nice if you want something to do, and improves OSM data. Like a
garden that needs weeding, OSM needs people to look over it and tidy it up.

The query works by first searching for all ways which have 0 tags in the
area (`if:count_tags() == 0`). Then it gets all the relations in the
area (`relation;`), and then the ways of those relations (byt 'recusing
down the relations with `>`). It removes the second set of ways from the
first set, leaving all ways with no tags that aren't in any realtions.

Hope that helps

Hi,


Is there a way to search for ways that don't have tags or relations tied to 
them?


Thanks
