Generally I think we should wait to add sports to this page until they are used at least a couple hundred times, since there are 100's of rare sports, but that's just my opinion. --~~~~ current

- 16:58, 28 May 2020 diff hist +801 Talk:Tag:highway=secondary : This definitely varies by State. In California, there are major State motorways which which are built to Interstate freeway standards in rural areas (e.g. CA-99 in the Central Valley is busier and wider than than I-5), and there are State highways which serve as {{tag|highway|trunk}} (e.g. CA-86 is 4 lanes and divided, it connects 2 cities through the desert). But because of this complexity, probably it's best if this is mentioned on the US-specific pages, rather than on this page which is for

- 16:37, 28 May 2020 diff hist +1 Key:branch onWay=yes - used on railways (About 25% of usage)
- 16:37, 28 May 2020 diff hist +373 Key:branch Revert status to "in use" - it's not clear how this tag is used differently than "name=*", and it's not very common compared to the "name=" tag for this use. Almost half of the occurences in the database are names of railway branches in Russia: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/branch#values Tag: Undo
- 16:13, 28 May 2020 diff hist +537 Talk:Proposed features/Dog barrier →barrier=dog: I agree that "barrier=dog" is incorrect. The value of {{tag|barrier}} is the type of obstacle which blocks a road, street or boundary: e.g. {{tag|barrier|bollar}}, {{tag|barrier|bollar}}, {{tag|barrier|log}}, {{tag|barrier|chain}}, {{tag|barrier|fence}}. A dog is not like any of these barriers, since it is a living creature which can move out of the way. I don't believe the location of dogs should be mapped in OpenStreetMap, see Good practice. --~~~~

- 16:00, 28 May 2020 diff hist +570 Template talk:Map Features:sport : This template is a Taglist, based on data from Taginfo, which is updated once a day. The tag {{tag|sport|jujutsu}} has only been used one time, added 4 hours ago: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/7251786340 - so it is not yet in the Taginfo database. Since this tag is very new, it should not yet be added to Map Features. There is not consensus on using jujutsu instead of jiu-jitsu. Also, I don't see a wiki page for Tag:sport=jujutsu yet. Please document this tag first. --~~~~

Remove "a road that does not have a {{tag|ref}} connects towns, use this tag." This tag is also used for county roads, which do have a reference number or code, in some States.

- 22:25, 24 May 2020 diff hist +584 N Talk:Key:bar == Definition of this tag? == The first paragraph does not define the meaning of this key. Later there is this section, which suggests these characteristics: "--> people can have drinks also during the day" "--> the cafe/restaurant stays open late into the night (also with the kitchen closed)" I suppose "drinks" should be interpreted as "alcoholic beverages", or should it be limited to "liquor"? But is it really a requirement that the bar is open late into the night, after the kitchen closes?

The example 'line_management=left|right" could be mis-interpreted as an actual tag. In the later documentation I would suggest providing real tag examples like "line_management=branch|transition", and change the "variables" to something like line_management=<left side>|<right side> perhaps? --~~~~

The new international rules from 2019 have changed this distinction, but there are still red-staked and yellow-staked areas in the new rules, perhaps? This may depend on local implementation.
