That helps, but it's hard to see, and invisible when images are turned off.
(I usually browse the wiki without images to save on data, and I also think that blind users should be able to understand and navigate without needing to interpret images. Here's the history for the wikibase data item "Q7676" which apparently means "natural=peninsula": https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Item:Q7676&action=history There are 37 changes in the last 6 months, half of them bot edits by "Yurikbot" How is this easier to use, edit or understand than the regular wiki pages? It's certainly not easier to find. On 6/9/19, Andrew Hain <[email protected]> wrote: > Every tag documentation page has a grey pencil icon next to the description > to edit the data message.
