Talk:Relation:destinationsign

Delete this

This is unuseful proposal, because we already have the destination_sign relation. Let's just add good elements of this proposal to it.

Keys "foot", "bicycle" and member "destination" do not overlap with tags of destination_sign, so they may be easy added there.

Heck no. I've already entered with this syntax more signs, than what others have with the other relation type. Alv 12:23, 25 August 2010 (BST)

A bot can change your entries automatically. Otherwise we'll have to support two similar variants in renderers and convertors. That will complicate software. --Surly 18:54, 25 August 2010 (BST)

No one has, to date, presented anything that consumes either of the relations. Nor has anyone suggested that they would. Until that time it would be outright vandalism to convert them - make a dozen (split) copies, if you must. Relations are adopted by use and the wiki voting on tags wasn't ever thought to be necessary for relations. Alv 20:05, 25 August 2010 (BST)

Comparison

For the Relation:destinationsign with destination signs pointing to Oulu, the city in Finland, see https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/944968

Overpass can be used to show very similar (maybe identical) information with the other type of destination sign relation (Relation:destination_sign) when using destination:wikidata=Q47048. For such relations of destination signs pointing to Oulu see https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/2x1p . (Unfortunately, the usual Overpass server is apparently being used by too many bots these days, and you might have to press the green "Run" button several times until the server processes the request.)
