You could argue the wiki is now wrong, but you could argue the wiki is now right too. Just because the wiki previously said "X or lower" previously doesn't mean it was correct. I, and from what I see in use where I live quite a few other too, have always used xxx_link tags to join a highway=xxx with a higher one, because we think what was documented on the wiki (xxx_link joins highway=xxx with a lower one) is silly. > Many of us refer to this kind of activity as "wikifiddling", or the > counter-productive deliberate insertion of false statements onto the > wiki in an attempt to influence the real world. You could argue that it's wikifiddling in an attempt to influence how people map, or that it's documenting how a lot of people already map. It's all a matter of perspective. Short of a tagging dictator, how do we decide which camp wins the argument? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
