Hi,
the language code 'uum' doesn't seem to exist. Could you check that?

If there's nothing on ground, I don't understand what the tags mean.

way/1371007612
May I suggest to tag this way with :lanes?
Neither bicycle:both nor bicycle:centre are currently in use.

Hi,
that wasn't my edit. The tags were added in changeset/160007751

Well, even if the underscore is not the formally correct symbol, the direction_* scheme is by now very well established, with way more than 100,000 uses. Introducing your own tagging scheme now (actually a fifth way for destination signs!) won't have any good chance to be adopted at any larger scale and will render the data more or less useless.

Hi,
this highway got a 'direction' tag which most likely should be on a guidepost node:
way/1375345149

Hi,
could you check your 'direction:*' tags? These are not in use up to now.

The typical spelling is
'direction_northeast' with an underscore and the full name of one of the 8 cardinal directions.

This link to official sources is already contained in the ref:cadastre tag. The actual url doesn't need to be tagged - it can be generated automatically. And as urls like these tend to change often having only the reference number in the database is very much preferable.

Thanks for the long description!
I'd like to suggest the following additional tags to mark it as a special thing during emergencies and to explicitly exclude normal emergencies:

emergency=no
emergency:amenity = clinic
emergency:hazard_type = epidemics

The keys are all already in use, albeit not in the context of a clinic for epidemics.

Hi,
could you explain the meaning of these tags?
amenity = clinic
emergency = yes
emergency:medical = no
What kind of emergency is handled at this clinic, if it is not medical?

Hi,
what's the meaning of the opening hours tags here? can't you park outside of these, or is anybody allowed to park then?

164056335

Thanks! The best would be to have a picture of the actual pumps. They are required to label them with the actual generic type of fuel.

Could you check this bicycle parking, it got a strange 'ulock' tag.

The gas station also got several fuel tags that are not used in other places. These are branded names, that should be translated to generic names like fuel:diesel_b7 or fuel:biodiesel

Hi,
you added many 'NUMAR' tags here. Are these housenumbers? These should be tagged as "addr:housenumber".

164168674

Hi,
you used a large amount of recycling tags that are not used in any other place. Could you have a look to the Wiki to check the common tags for the materials that can be recycled here?
amenity=recycling

The "Finland Scheme" is long outdated. The wiki page you cite has been written 12 years ago, without updates since.

The discussion about traffic_sign:id was very broad. The situation for destination signs is a lot simpler. Any new scheme can be extended throughout the whole of Europe without problems - and the existing scheme is almost capable of it, with just some minor tweaks and extensions.

Please write a request for comments in the international tagging section of the forums.

" at the forum thread that we only talk yopaseopor and myself. That's because we are the only two users in the Catalan community"

That's part of the problem. Traffic signs are not a local thing, but globally (or at least Europe-wide) very similar. A tagging scheme can't be discussed in a small local group, it needs to involve the whole community. That's what proposals are for.

Please don't use changeset comments to explain things, this information can't be found later.

Hi Xavier,
please let me repeat my request: This new scheme for destination signs adds huge amounts of undocumented tags (115 new keys just today!) that are of no use to any other data consumer. We absolutely need a proper documentation and discussion before these get into such widespread use.

Tracing and copying are different things, and both might be fine or not. The import process is there to find out about such differences before beginning the import.
