natural=gorge

Thanks for this, it's really useful. Just wanted to point out you've listed natural=gorge a few times but not for gorge. --TrekClimbing (talk) 14:25, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Good catch! There's actually a more subtle issue here that was reflected in the glossary when I put it together. Sometimes OSM has more than one way to tag a feature, which is the case with natural=valley and natural=gorge. If it's not apparent from the glossary, I'm generally in favor of having more expressiveness in OSM tagging for natural features. Where mappers have chosen to use a variety of tags, the glossary mostly captures that variation. So, now both Gorge and Canyon are listed with natural=gorge and natural=valley as options. --B1tw153 (talk) 01:06, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
