Edits on page "Rendering"

Hi, Why did you remove Mapweaver and osmrender.pl from the Rendering page? --Andi 16:32, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I didn't remove them. They are there, just in another section (applications). I think it should be clear which of these are libraries and which are ready-to-use applications. Actually, I'm not sure what to do with applications with rendering engines built-in. Feel free to edit. --Vanuan 14:59, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

cemetery=sector

Hi, I wonder what's the status of this proposal: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Cemetery_sector. I like the idea to introduce a new tag, but I wonder (1) if it was discussed in the mailing list and if yes, what was the result and (2) why it's "sector" and not "section" which seems to be a more correct English term. --Kotya (talk) 22:23, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

1) Yes. Result was mixed support. You can see all responses on discussion page. Apparently, there's no deadline on voting in openstreetmap, so I removed a date. If you want, we can add dates and announce voting in mailing list. I was "moving too fast", so I suppose I should've waited a year or two.
2) it's sector because it was the most commonly used at that time (according to taginfo). I considered that it is easier to change <100 "sections" manually than to write some tool to change 1000+ "sectors". If you insist, I don't oppose to change it, if you also change all occurrences of sector to section. --Vanuan (talk) 22:29, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
