Since this issue is somewhat controversial, it would be best to create a proposal page to suggest the proper way to tag continents, oceans and seas - these tags were never formally discussed, and have some problems.
Also, the correct way to propose automatically changing a large number of features is to follow the "Automated Edits code of conduct": https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct This includes "systematic edits to the database by other means without consideration of each change. This policy also applies to substantial changes made using 'find and replace' or similar functions within standard editors such as JOSM" - so I believe this would be the case for editing all the seas and oceans. "You should normally document your proposed edit at an English-language wiki page named "Automated edits/username" (where username is the OSM user name of the account that you will be using to perform the edits - think about this now so that you don't have to rename the page later), and add it to Category:Automated edits log. Your documentation should state: Who is making the change (preferably your real name and how to contact you, ideally e-mail address) Your motivation for making the change and why it is important A detailed description of the algorithm you will use to decide which objects are changed how Information about any consultation that you have conducted, with links to mailing list/forum posts or Wiki discussion pages When the change was made, or how frequently it is going to be repeated Information on how to "opt out" Please read the rest of the information at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct prior to proceeding. (FYI, I am personally in favor of removing the English name=* tags for continents and oceans, and perhaps for many of the seas, but it's important to get consensus about a major edit like this) - Joseph Eisenberg On 2/18/20, Tomek <to...@disroot.org> wrote: > W dniu 20-02-15 o 19:17, Steve Doerr pisze: >> On 15/02/2020 17:35, Tomek wrote: >>> - for continents, oceans, poles, and seas bordering any state, I will >>> completely remove this marker. >> >> Don't do that.
