Talk:Key:operational status
non operational
I think, it's just a typo that the tag "non operational" is suggested with an hyphen instead of an underscore as in all the other tags. According to taginfo the relation between these variants is 328:249 in favour for the hyphenated version... As this tag is quite rarely used at all, I dare to change the wiki for harmonization the tagging in the hope that this will make the mapping a bit more consistent in the future. (Even in spite of the fact, that "non-operational" occurs more frequently than "non_operational"...) --Segubi (talk) 16:40, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- Actually, non-operational (or nonoperation) is correct English orthography and non operational is wrong (see Wiktionary, Lexico/Oxford, Merriam-Webster or Collins). --Dafadllyn (talk) 20:46, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
staff_has_been_notified
Yes, there are tags like
operational_status=needs_maintenance
But then everyone who sees such a tag will report the broken (toilet, etc.) to the authorities. 100 good Samaritan reports.
Better would be an additional way to indicate that though there is a problem, someone has already reported it.
Indeed, maybe even have a report date field one could enter.
operational_status=needs_maintenance reported_to_staff=2023-07-25
Wow, maybe even
expected_to_be_back_in_operation=2023-08-31

operational_status=needs_maintenance and fix_guidepost=*
After getting lost in the regional reporting system concerning damages and errors in the official (driven by the authorities) cycling signposting system in Germany I started to use a key fix_guidepost=* for saving the description of a problem during mapping of the cycling routes themselves. Some have begun to adopt this, if the usage of this tag should spread, it may be worth mentioning it here. But it doesn't exactly describe the operational status but can be used to send the information about the problems to the operators and - if added - as a hint to other users of the route or the map whether someone has already reported the damage.
