Many many more CDPs in Missouri remain, but most of the remaining ones are mapped as points. This isn't wrong, but it would be cool to have the boundaries. That's a job for the future. Several CDPs are flat out missing, though, which is higher priority IMO.

I also changed roles on node members from admin_centre to label, and I made sure each relation had up to date Wikidata and Wikipedia tags (although the former is sufficient, the latter probably won't go out of date for CDP boundaries).

These were incorrectly imported as administrative boundaries despite not being administrative entities. The boundaries as mapped are census-designated places (CDPs) and are decided by Census Bureau and its partners as opposed to through annexations.

A mapper several months ago did a bunch of cleanup of mostly TIGER-imported names on Missouri state highways, and it looks like this name got added back incidentally in an update to road names in the local area. That update was made by a mapper who apparently did not know about the "name is only the name" convention (other proof being county reference numbers in parens; they also left many road names abbreviated)

Simply the fact that it's a state-owned road does not mean it should be upgraded.

The historic bridge wasn't even mapped.

Also funny is Webster County which applies the names "Long State Highway P"/"Short State Highway P" and "Long State Highway Y"/"Short State Highway Y" to segments of MO P and MO Y, respectively, when they're cut in half by north-south roads.

Ooh, a highway! My favorite has to be when the letter is mistaken for a directional suffix, e.g. "State Highway North". I even saw the letter O mistaken for a direction suffix in the TIGER import (what direction could that mean?)

Sometimes they're mistakenly referred to as county roads, too (e.g. "N Cl N Highway"), which I bet hearkens back to the Takeover Program. Dunno for sure, though. I wish I could know the rationale behind some of these names.

This name is provided by the county, not the state, and is the official name used in physical land addresses. The road is still designated as P by the state, and that's what goes in the ref tag(s) and route relation(s).

It's a private park with some interactive sculptures with quite a backstory..

Also added a segment of Givins Branch intermittent stream

relation/17639284 is correct, but the way names were out of sync with it.
