Important TODO

Less important TODO

Someone keeps editing street name with current date, old revision appeared in Google Maps, presumably together with other stolen data. Between 2018-08-03 and 2020-12-04 Google copied OSM data, including invalid data like name of this street. Not sure what is a good next step if I want to achieve more than Google hiding evidence.

It convinced me to - at least - to seriously treat claims of Google stealing OSM data. I need to verify street name, there is a vanishingly tiny chance of some weird changes to actual name, or that name on Google is real street name.

Anything else worth checking?

Google allows submitting feedback about missing streets - maybe they blindly applied it (rightclick on the map)? https://discord.com/channels/413070382636072960/413070502580453387/807732028509519912 https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/99736525

Remove harmful templatification

This templates makes harder to edit for nontechnical people, make impossible to do page-specific tweaks in wording.

It is also making work harder for translators, especially as English language template stuck in article text makes editing confusing for people not using English as a primary language.

Common tags

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target=Template%3ACommon+tags+to+use+in+combination&namespace=0

  • template to aid removal: open page with template
  • edit (I do it in wikicode edit)
  • replace <template call> with {{User:Mateusz Konieczny/improve editability
  • use preview
  • copy generate wikicode into article, replacing template
  • now you can switch order or add page-specific text
  • use preview again to check is everything OK
  • save page

How_to_map_as_a_node_or_area

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:How_to_map_as_a_node_or_area

Replace with


Set a [[node]] at the center of the feature or draw an [[area]] along its outline.


Edit comment:

Remove [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:How_to_map_as_a_node_or_area|unneded template]] that makes harder to edit wiki, replace it with a freeform text.

Tags

Undocumented tags I just use but are without formal proposal. Idea from User:Malenki/undoc tags

Proposals may be created for some that are useful, frequently used or likely to be complicated. Voting will be initiated for proposals likely to get support in voting.

Proposed features/man_made=meridian_marker - but page at man_made=meridian_marker exists
Proposed features/access=adherents There are some places that restrict entrance based on religion. For example places of worship where anyone may enter - but only if they are from a specific religion. For example mosques Morocco. This tag is deliberately religion and denomination independent, alternative is to have separate access value for each religion or its variant. access=muslim and so on

Mechanical Edits

(edit), see Automated Edits code of conduct

See https://matkoniecz.github.io/OSM-wikipedia-tag-validator-reports/ to see list of cases where human help is required and welcomed!

Bot edit usefulness

My idea is that automatic edits are OK given edit where

  • human making such changes would not cause a reasonable protest
  • human would edit in the same way or human would make more mistakes
  • preparing program and discussing automatic edit will take less time than a tedious manual edit
  • probability that human during editing would spot major issues not detected by validators is not significantly higher than during normal editing (human will spot mistakes during any editing anywhere, automatic program not spotting problems during editing is harmful only if unusually many major issues not detected by validators would not spotted)
  • edit is accepted by OSM community in discussion (even if somebody is convinced that edit makes perfect sense one should not make if community opposes. It makes sense even if edit was really a good idea)

Overall my vision of automatic edits is that it allows to do incredibly tedious and boring edits, with less mistakes than humans. It allows humans to make more productive editing.

I consider importing addresses from high-quality sources, removing invalid objects imported due to poor processing of source data (importing objects marked as not existing), retagging building=building to building=yes to be good examples of such edits.

Assuming that address dataset is on suitable license and so good that after importing it OSM dataset will cause less mistakes than after surveying the area, why not import it? Except rare cases it will take less effort to do that and people can spend survey time on objects that are not easily importable.

Assuming that some large-scale retagging is clearly desirable - what is the benefit over doing it manually object by object over running scipt and spending hours of freed OSM time on something more useful like going on walk and surveying local area (or tracing forests or improving OSM editors or helping newbies or going through what JOSM validator reported).

Standard disclaimer, add to bot edit requests

In case of any questions about bot edits I will answer them (and answered all that I got so far).

In case of any damage caused by bot edit I will fix it (so far it has not happened).

I have experience with automated edits, see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edits/Mateusz_Konieczny_-_bot_account for list of approved and successful bot edits.

Yes, editing element will cause it to be edited and change "last edited" date. Effect will be exactly the same in case of using bot and manual edit (which I will do anyway in case of rejecting this automated edit proposal). Note that in case of bot edits you may filter out bot edits marked as automatic.

  • Reverts of undiscussed mechanical edits - as explained by DWG - automated revert of an undiscussed mechanical edit may be done without any discussion and is exempt from Automated Edits code of conduct

Data quality issues

In some cases below mechanical edits may be useful. Many are fixable only by a manual review.
