Nominatim's place_id
"... But there are no plan to transform place_id in to a stable ID."
- Again, please don't suggest that Nominatim's place_id can be used for anything outside of a specific Nominatim instance. Like I already mentioned, it is a purely internal identifier and must not be used to refer to an object from the outside! Mmd (talk)
- Thanks @Mmd, perhaps the best correction is to delete the phrase. --Krauss (talk) 18:34, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
- No, I would strongly recommend to delete the whole paragraph about place_id. Seriously, you cannot use place_id for anything, it is a technical database key and depends on a single Nominatim instance. Mmd (talk) 18:38, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
- Hum... Check now, I added a "notice" with your phrase... You can also put in bold as an alert. --Krauss (talk) 18:50, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

OSM non-official persistence implementations
"Implementations that use OSM infrastructure but is not at openstreetmap.org domain, so is considered "not official".
- What does this sentence mean? Using OSM infrastructure but not the domain?! Please clarify Mmd (talk) 17:46, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
- Makes sense, I am correcting... Well, I can try other definition, but perhaps the best is to say nothing. I not see how to classify what is "part of the OSM system" and what is an "external module". --Krauss (talk) 18:34, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
Overpass API/Permanent ID
Overpass Permanent Ids don't have anything to do with the Wiki, you can define certain tags for an object, which will be translated by Overpass API to a concrete object at runtime. Mmd (talk) 17:37, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
- Hum... Please, can you help to enhance the explanation about it? Them I will change the text to fit to the technical explanation. --Krauss (talk) 18:34, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
- Overpass API Permanent Ids are about defining some keys you believe are unique, you put them into a query, and the query result will automatically return the object in question. No Wiki involved whatsoever. Mmd (talk) 18:40, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
