hi
this is Sergio Sevillano aka User:Sergionaranja
sorry for the inconveniences.
I think I have behave correctly though...
I wanted to have linear barriers in use, so I found the barrier proposal
which was the best option for it, and i promoted it along with other
users to be approved as it was kind of stalled. the barrier=gate was
included before i started modifying it. (i still think it fits better
under barrier)
i followed the processes mentioned at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features#Proposal_Status_Process
before voting i have called a final rfc in which i explicitly mentioned
that gate was involved as i thought this could be tricky...
as user circeus (we have worked a lot in this, thanks) pointed out there
were many uses for the deprecating values (highway=gate >> 17,000 + uses
in Europe according to Tagwatch). we did a lot of documentation also on
wiki links for non english users to know those weird types of gates...
blah, blah...
also followed the
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features#Post-vote_clean-up
wich clearly mentions the "Add entry to Map_Features page."
also found Deprecated_features page.
so here i thought a combination of both should be done.
i modified highway features so the change has more clear to all,
although you are right it don´t belongs there anymore
i did not include linear barriers there.
*now comes the interpretation*
as Frederic says map features should be actual used features.
but i favour more an interpretation that map features is recommendation
of "how to tag", for uses there is the tagwatch.
i have never intended to force others to map or tag in a particular way.
i thougt that changing highway=gate to barrier=gate was such
straightforward and uncomplicated that the sudden chage was best.
taking in account only osmrender and mapnik i thought that those render
changes are easy enough to be done quite fast.
i didnt take in account any other render neither the editors: JOSM,
potlach... (two whip lashes for me)
*things I have changed*
I have created key:barrier
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Key:barrier to reflect those
approved by
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Approved_features/barriers
i have modified map features highway template which has been reverted by
Frederic to original state
also http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Deprecated_features which
Frederic has already mention more correct uses of deprecation and has
leaved the new barrier= recommendation
other pages modified:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tag:highway%3Dgate moved to
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tag:barrier%3Dgate
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tag:highway%3Dstile moved to
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tag:barrier%3Dstile
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tag:highway%3Dcattle_grid moved
to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tag:barrier%3Dcattle_grid
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tag:highway%3Dtoll_booth moved
to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tag:barrier%3Dtoll_booth
so now when you search for gate or highway=gate redirects to barrier=gate.
this might be changed to original state and create independent
barrier=gate so both pages are up at same time?
finally, I´am glad all this thoughts have come out, as some changes in
the procedures should be done and uploaded.
such as proposal_process, approval_process, post_vote_clean_up...
deprecation concept
cheers,
Sergio
