The reason for doing it on a separate page is that it becomes more manageable. The imports page is huge and can be hard to both edit and consume for that reason. By categories, do you mean similar to the 'Users in ...' categories? That would make sense to me, but would not require to maintain the Imports page. We could then tag each import description page with categories [Import] [Country] or [Fixbot] [Country]. I don't know if mediawiki knows about administrative boundary hierarchies - if so you could have [Import] [San_Diego] or similar and still have the import show up in the auto-generated list of 'Imports in the US'. I like this approach in general, but just having an auto-generated list of imports and fixbots without any context is not enough. The page would need to provide some context, especially for those external to OSM seeking information. I don't know if / how that could be achieved? -- martijn van exel geospatial omnivore 1109 1st ave #2 salt lake city, ut 84103 801-550-5815 http://oegeo.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
