Proposal creation guidelines

There have been a large number of proposals created, that are seriously lacking in detail. This page details a 'suggested' process to go through before creating a proposal; it is by no means exhaustive, or meant to be blindly followed without consideration.

Creating a proposal

Proposal Template

• category - The proposal type - Highway, Cycleway, Tracktype, Waterway, Railway, Aeroway, Aerialway, Power, Man_made, Leisure, Amenities, Shop, Tourism, Historic, Landuse, Military, Natural, Route, Boundary, Sport, Abutters, Accessories, Properties, Restrictions, Name, References, Place, Annotation, or Keys

Proposal Status Process

Draft

• Use the Template to create your proposal. Set the status to "Draft".
• Place your proposal in the correct category.
• Create the proposal Page. Creating a proposal
• Once the feature is fully described on its page, move on to "Proposed" Status.

Proposed

• Send out an RFC (Request For Comments) to talk@openstreetmap.org mailing list[1].

• Subject Line: "[tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - (Feature Name)"

• Set the status to "Proposed" and set the rfcStartDate=* value. (YYYY-MM-DD)
• Spend time with others discussing and modifying the proposal.

• Please discuss each proposed feature on its own discussion page.

Voting

• At least two weeks after discussing, and once problems brought up in discussion have been resolved by modifying the proposal, send out a (Request for Voting) to talk@openstreetmap.org mailing list[2].

• Subject Line: "[tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - (Feature Name)"

• Set the status to "Voting", and set the voteStartDate=* value. (YYYY-MM-DD)
• Set the voteEndDate=* when voting is complete. (YYYY-MM-DD)
• At this point there must be only one proposal on the page, so it's clear what is being voted on, and the proposal should be formalized to the standard set by Key:highway

Approved

• At the end of the voting period, if the proposal has found enough support, the status can be set to "Approved" and the feature may be promoted to Post-vote clean-up.

A rule of thumb for "enough support" is 8 unanimous approval votes or 15 total votes with a majority approval, but other factors may also be considered (such as whether a feature is already in use).

Before you decide to reject a proposal because of lack of support, it may be worthwile to send out a new vote request to the mailing list[3].

Rejected

• If the vote fails, the proposal will be moved to the Rejected features page. From there it may be resubmitted, modified, and moved back to the RFC process.

Any proposals that have a 3 month inactive history should be move to the Abandoned feature suggestions list or moved to a vote if ready.

Post-vote clean-up

• Approved features: (ex. Approved features/bridge)

• Proposal page and discussion should be moved to Approved features/
• Add link to the Feature page using the Template:Approved_feature_link: {{Approved_feature_link|link=*|name=*}}
• Feature Page should be created and the relevant map features template should be applied.
• Link back to Proposal in "See Also" section.
• Move entry to the Approved features page.
• Remove entry from Proposed features page.
• Add entry to Map_Features page.

• Do not remove entries from Map Features even if your new feature that has been voted on is intended to replace them. It is not considered good style to remove things from Map Features while they are still in use. You can remove things from Map Features if they are not in use.

• Rejected features:

• Note any reasons why rejected.
• Move to the Rejected features page
