entrance for emergency_ward_entrance

Hello, thanks for clarifying. You are more experienced than me, so may I ask - the wiki only says entrance=yes, but if I find a case where entrance=main is more appropriate, can I use it or is there a risk of breaking some applications like StreetComplete?

Hi,

regarding https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations/issues/599#issuecomment-1066556164, you have to change the setting "Data" from "Pages" to something like "Page Queue". The setting is not reflected in the URL, thus you can not link to the plot directly.

Removing a rendering example

Not sure why, but I just got a notification that you removed the "rendering in OpenSeaMap" example from this page:

Just wondering why you removed it? The image is literally just text and a circle, I don't see how that could be a copyright violation. It's now confusing for anyone visiting the page, since the rendering example is empty...

Instead, maybe you could add this template? Template:PD-shape

This image or logo only consists of typefaces, individual words, slogans, or simple geometric shapes. These are not eligible for copyright alone because they are not original enough, and thus the image is considered to be in the public domain.
See Public domain or Restricted materials on Wikipedia for more information.
Please note: The public domain status of this work is only in regards to its copyright status. There may be other intellectual property restrictions protecting this image, such as trademarks or design patents if it is a logo.

BTW, if you have by any chance replacement for that photo - and other in this category where replacement was not found then help is welcomed.

Graphic redesign of the Template:Information

Hello Mateusz Konieczny!

I've made a graphical redesign of the template for image description locally on the OSM wiki (Template:Information), notably in green color to distinguish it from the light purple of Commons (and thus to identify more easily the origin of the image).
What do you think about it?

Also, would you have a list of useful templates on image management that are on this wiki? (for example: a template to say that an image can be transferred to Commons or on the contrary a template to say that an image should not be transferred to Commons etc...)

Stone and rock

Please revisit the comments you have added for the distinction between rock and stone. It is a general distinction also made in English (and even if it wasn’t it did not matter a lot, because it is the definitions and descriptions that count, not natural language use). Strong distinction between rocks attached to bedrock and not attached to bedrock is present in German but not in English[1]. It is one more case of OSM tag design following German terminology. you added this sentence, based on someone’s comment in github who apparently wrote about things he doesn’t know well (he is German so he isn‘t a good reference for English language). Please conduct your own research. A stone is always loose, (unless the word is used to describe a material), it is describing a grain size, bigger than a cobble and smaller than a boulder. —Dieterdreist (talk) 08:01, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

@Dieterdreist: - it appears to not be defining difference, see say https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stone https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rock If you have a better source that describes it as a defining difference the feel free to edit that page to improve it Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 09:02, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

e.g. https://geologywriter.com/blog/stories-in-stone-blog/rock-or-stone-is-there-a-difference/ Robert Thorson writes “Rock is raw material in situ. Stone usually connotes either human handling or human use, although it can also be used to describe naturally produced fragments of rock larger than a cobble.” I just searched the web for „rock or stone“. —-Dieterdreist (talk) 19:08, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

OK, so there is a difference in at least some specialist terminology which does not exist in a common language. This - as far as I know - is distinct from German where distinction is also in a common language. Feel free to add note that specialist English geology terminology has such distinction. Note that distinction is quite obscure, as indicated by your own link and in typical usage this terms are used interchangeably @Dieterdreist: Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 07:10, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

You're asking this 12 years after the file was uploaded? Is there a new initiative to get all sources clarified?

Yes, it's my own photo, taken at Punchestown Racecourse in Kildare, Ireland, when the Oxegen festival was being set up. I'll update what I can in the file info. Hackery (talk) 22:35, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Yes, see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Wiki#Designing_policy_for_handling_files_without_clear_license (BTW, feedback there would be welcome) - in general problem was ignored and it turns out that some people were really confused or just ignoring copyright.

File:HOT_Beginner_4.png

Hi Mateusz - youn left a message about a particular licence on an image from 2014 - (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:HOT_Beginner_4.png) - I can't remember now, but I must have thought it was the right thing to do at the time. The image was probably one I was using when I was trying to give feedback to another mapper - before the HOT Tasking Manager allowed the leaving of feedback. The system I was using seemed to work extremely well as far as the mappers was concerned, but was extremely labour intensive for me, and hence not particularly practical. I have very little to do with HOT or LearnOSM now - feel a little burnt out with the whole thing, and now enjoy mapping mainly after a survey. I still keep my server updating the translations from Transifex. Regards Nick (Tallguy)

@Tallguy: - are you expecting this old images still to be useful for some purpose? Or is it fine to delete them? Because it would be necessary to research what is their legal situation and fix copyright tagging to keep them (this appears only now, as for a long time copyright issues concerning images were almost completely ignored at OSM Wiki) Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 09:04, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

@Mateusz Konieczny: - deletion is fine - I'm away from home with limited internet access and time at the moment, but will do what I can to delete them. - Update - is it actually possible to delete it? - I've just tried and haven't worked out how. Is a licence change the correct course of action?

Side effect of changing all CC-BY templates

As a side effect of changes like https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Template:CC-BY-2.0&diff=0&oldid=2344973, all of those templates now appear in Category:Attribution not provided in CC license template which requires attribution.

Uploaded image directly from editing

Hi Mateusz, I uploaded an image directly from the article I am writing, but it did not asked me about the license. How can I correct this? I know you are working on this.

This is the image: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Notathon-Ecuador-Cayambe.svg

@Angoca: - that is annoying one. For start, have you made this logo or reused existing file? Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 17:31, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

I used a OSM background, but the rest I did from scratch. AngocA (talk) 02:11, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

@Angoca:

Oh, not so bad. Then you need

{{ODbL OpenStreetMap}} and {{CC0-self}} + "I used a OSM background, but the rest I did from scratch" clarification

or {{ODbL OpenStreetMap}} and {{CC-BY-SA-4.0|Angoca}} + "I used a OSM background, but the rest I did from scratch" clarification

use CC0 if you want people to be able to use/modify it freely without worrying about complications such as to where one should put credit on poster or whether CC license materials are OK to post on Facebook and so on

use CC-BY-SA-4.0 if you want to demand that people credit you and you are willing to take legal action to enforce it. Personally for my photos and work like this I use CC0 as unlike for OSM editing and my programming projects I am not planning to take legal action, so making it easy for everyone seem better

Other licences are also possible, but for nearly all uses this two will be preferable for media

Why not also edit Wikidata original site and remove P1282

For example:

You remove "Q180958" in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Zh-hans:Key:faculty&diff=next&oldid=2241956

But when I visit https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q180958, it still have this property.

@快乐的老鼠宝宝: - several reasons:

• note that this data is still in OSM Data Items - it was only removed from OSM Wiki
• this edit was made to remove inactive parameter from OSM wiki pages, data was migrated to data items and in this case it is still in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Item:Q8366 OSM data item

Thank you for explaination on this! I mistakenly thought they were deprecated and not on OSMWiki. I will consider going to Wikidata and requesting to change https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1282#P1630 to the format you given https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Item:Q$1 (or just modify P1282's value as "Item:Q8366")(I also have problem in automatical edit in Wikidata itself so this also just a plan)--快乐的老鼠宝宝 (talk) 08:54, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

• my bot edit was approved on OSM Wiki, I have not attempted to approve it for Wikidata
• I do not care so much about Wikidata quality
• If I would spend time on improving Wikidata I would spend time on their critical ontology issues that are actually causing problems
• This specific link is not so wrong
• Wikidata/Data item editing requires dealing with obnoxious API that my code is not supporting

Your edit in historic=*

You added the sentence "Note that damaged remains and ruins are existing! Comparison of life cycle concepts offers one of ways to mark ruins and remains." to the top of historic=*. I don't think the sentence is wrong, but the same could be said about any other historic object. So I don't understand why this particular sentence should be on top of the paragraph. Can you explain?

Also, I'm not sure if you're implying that ruins should not be tagged as historical.

--Martianfreeloader (talk) 13:36, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

"could be said about any other historic object. So I don't understand why this particular sentence should be on top of the paragraph" I mentioned this exactly because it applies to historical objects. I added this as I added mention that nonexisting features are mapped only temporarily

"Also, I'm not sure if you're implying that ruins should not be tagged as historical." that was not my intention

Feel free to tweak it or even revert completely (with explanation in edit). @Martianfreeloader: Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 13:39, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

I feel like the first and (now) third sentence already fully cover this. The first sentence says features that still exist, while the third sentence says what to do if it doesn't exist anymore. Also, Comparison_of_life_cycle_concepts is now linked twice in consecutive sentences. So if you're ok, I'd just revert it. --Martianfreeloader (talk) 13:44, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

In general, free to revert my edits without asking: just explain in revert why you are doing this Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 13:50, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Ah, after reading again, I think I got your idea. If I'm right, you wanted to emphasize that features do not need to be intact, only existing. I've reflected this in the article now. Thanks for pointing this out! --Martianfreeloader (talk) 13:50, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Your edit to foot=no was incorrect

Resolved: Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 07:24, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Your edit https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:foot%3Dno&diff=next&oldid=2122127 changed the page from redirecting to the access page (which says "Access values describe legal permissions/restrictions and should follow ground truth; e.g., signage or legal ruling and not introduce guesswork. It does not describe common or typical use, even if signage is generally ignored. ") to saying "Access on foot or for pedestrians prohibited or impossible". It does mean prohibited; it does NOT mean impossible. SomeoneElse (talk) 23:42, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

@SomeoneElse: "it does NOT mean impossible" - I agree, but if access by pedestrians is utterly impossible and access by vehicles is possible then I would also use foot=no even if legal situation is unclear Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 11:49, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Though I see that you edited the page Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 11:49, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Street vendors‎

Not to beat a dead horse now that the amenity=street_vendor proposal is DOA, but you should really do a counter proposal for street_vendor=* so no one ever tries to revive tagging street vendors with an amenity tag. Your tag is clearly the better of the two options anyway. So please revive the proposal and put it up for a vote. I'm begging you, for the love of god, don't make us have to deal with that nonsense again. Do a proposal for street_vendor=* and put it to a vote. Pretty, pretty, please, do it.... --Adamant1 (talk) 11:26, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

@Adamant1: - well, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/street_vendor%3Dyes was intended as RFC-only proposal to avoid risk of getting "only" 79% support and getting "rejected" status. I hope that it will get additional confirmation from community by clear rejection of deprecation attempt Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 14:04, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

That makes sense. I guess it's a risk either way. It's not like having a tag approved does that much for it anyway, but getting one rejected can be pretty detrimental depending. That's one of the reasons I never took rental=* anywhere. The risk to benefit ratio of taking it to vote just didn't seem worth it. Especially since some of the alternatives have more usage. I feel like street_vendor=* is low enough on the food chain so to speak that it would probably be approved though. More so now that the alternatives clearly aren't viable. It's your call though. --Adamant1 (talk) 05:05, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

building:name=* has no valid reason for use

What about in cases where the name of a business is different from the name of the building that it is in? --Adamant1 (talk) 07:43, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

@Adamant1: Merging business and building is in general violation of One feature, one OSM element. Especially if both are named and so on. In such case proper fix is to represent business as a node/area in a building, rather than starting using weird prefixes. If building has no name or other conflicting attributes such merge is not very problematic (though for example iD has severe problems with it), but building:name=* is ridiculous workaround used instead of a proper soution Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 07:51, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

I guess that makes sense. I'm pretty sure I've used the tag myself a few times. So Thanks for the answer. I'll have to just do what you suggest the next time. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:16, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Hey. I pinged on Talk:Proposal process/Time allowed to vote on proposals because I wanted your opinion about something, but I don't think it went through. So I thought I'd make you aware of it this way. Thanks. Sorry if this is redundant. --Adamant1 (talk) 15:51, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

entrance=exit is a troll tag

Dear, Your comment made me smile, and I was quick to react to it. Too quick, in fact: I replied like I would and should have done in the "comments" section, not in the article body. But frankly, wouldn't it be best of all to move the whole paragraph to the talk page? At any rate, please do feel free to move or remove my comment as seems best to you - myself am quite unsure. Thanks and kind regards, Jan olieslagers (talk) 18:23, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

@Jan olieslagers: In general I think it is worth documenting it, it is useful especially for people who are not native speakers. Though it is a Wiki so feel free to make edits. Maybe we will consult with other people if we will fundamentally disagree Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 19:01, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

While I was reading the above section of Import/Past Problems, I noticed a missing link here where you mention like in this example. I was interested to findout what is in that example.

You've suggested "shop=kitchen" as a suggested alternative to "shop=kitchenware", which makes no sense. Shops that sell fitted kitchens rarely sell pots and pans / knives and forks. SomeoneElse (talk) 23:48, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

@SomeoneElse: - if only kitchenware is sold there then it makes no sense whatsoever to use tag for kitchen furniture. But I listed it there not intending it as synonymous one but as related. Which I expect to be useful mostly for people who are not native speakers ("kitchenware" may be initially interpreted by them to include also kitchen furniture). As usual feel free to amend/revert if you see an improvement Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 06:32, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
