Primary roads north of Cikarang and Karawang

There are many primary roads north of Cikarang and Karawang that needs to be reclassified. Hanif Al Husaini (talk) 10:20, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

This has been fixed. Hanif Al Husaini (talk) 21:25, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

How do we tag pos ronda (neighbourhood watch posts) in Indonesia?

Pos ronda, also known as pos kamling

Pos ronda Kampung Heppiii Desa Sidomoyo

Pos ronda, pos kamling, or pos siskamling is a building used by the local neighbourhood watch as their place to hang out when they are not patrolling the neighbourhood. It often has a kentongan (slit drum), a traditional wooden instrument that is sounded in an emergency. It is usually just a basic shelter, but some might have other facilities such as TVs. Its tagging in OSM varies. Some examples in the OSM database are listed below:

Objects with name=Pos Ronda or similar

• building=yes without any amenity tag: 228111170 228111170, 728791123 728791123, 1001085583 1001085583, 1009325473 1009325473, 286667650 286667650
• amenity=shelter: 3485207960 3485207960, 3485205987 3485205987
• amenity=security_post: 182814637 182814637, 189973347 189973347
• amenity=Security_post: 189847388 189847388
• amenity=police: 2581961267 2581961267, 3509666470 3509666470
• amenity=community_centre: 4012066219 4012066219
• amenity=ranger_station: 578057157 578057157
• amenity=public_building: 358577638 358577638
• man_made=pumping_station: 583955011 583955011

Objects with name=Pos Kamling, name=Pos Siskamling or similar:

• building=yes without any amenity tag: 392274722 392274722, 358576510 358576510, 329812218 329812218, 329616266 329616266, 329620087 329620087, 961648680 961648680, 517553984 517553984, 3470706188 3470706188
• building=public without any amenity tag: 346471091 346471091
• amenity=community_centre: 3955161170 3955161170
• amenity=public_building: 154158347 154158347, 175833312 175833312
• tourism=alpine_hut: 3469375894 3469375894

There is also pos jaga (guarding post), which may be pos ronda/neighbourhood watch posts or just regular security posts. They are tagged with:

• building=yes without any amenity tag: 720518131 720518131, 623778697 623778697, 623778700 623778700 940462833 940462833, 172612723 172612723, 443146140 443146140
• tourism=alpine_hut: 3195253397 3195253397, 2083990781 2083990781
• office=administrative: 5346200671 5346200671
• tourism=information: 542948923 542948923

Some of these tags (such as amenity=police, man_made=pumping_station and tourism=alpine_hut) are clear mistakes. But I'm not sure about the rest. Which tag is the best for this facility? The current tagging is inconsistent. Hanif Al Husaini (talk) 22:14, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
