Undelete node
Potlatch has some support for undeleting ways, but not for undeleting stand-alone nodes. There is currently no easy function to undelete nodes provided within any of the editors.
Howto
The following is a somewhat technical procedure to 'manually' undelete a node. The process is to modify the deletion flag (visible=) in the node XML, and then reupload using JOSM.
View the node in question. For node 502375284, this is:
Download the XML snippet using the Download XML hyperlink at the bottom of the page. Name it with .osm extension (e.g. undelete.osm). For the above example, the Download XML link is:
Open this file with a text editor.
Delete the first (older) entries, so that the XML contains just the most recent (deleted) <node> found on the server:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <osm version="0.6" generator="JOSM"> <node id="502375284" lat="52.9692276" lon="-1.1704875" user="sladen" uid="12671" visible="false" timestamp="2009-12-20T19:00:43Z" version="2"> <tag k="naptan:NaptanCode" v="ntmamjdw"/> <tag k="name" v="Radford Road"/> ... </node> </osm>
Change the visible= (deletion status) attribute and add the action= attribute to ensure upload processing. (Do not increment the version= number; the number must match the version already on the server.)
<osm version="0.6" generator="By Hand!">
<node id="502375284" lat="52.9692276" lon="-1.1704875" user="sladen" uid="12671"
visible="true" timestamp="2009-12-20T19:00:43Z" version="2" action="modify">
...
</node>
</osm>
Save and then open this .osm file in JOSM. Click upload and give a sensible edit summary. Hopefully it all worked and the node has been restored; check the history on the server again for comfort:
