if by chance anyone is seeing it: feel free to fix issues

you can also remove fixed entries from this list, or just fix them

Or look at Category:Tag descriptions with no status specified, Category:Feature pages with missing images (more noisy, not filtered for priority)

List of obviously needed improvements to OSM Wiki

OSM Wiki includes plenty of useful documentation, but more is needed. Help would be highly welcomed - there is need to both improve existing wiki pages and to document tags that are not documented right now.

Tags with quickly growing usage but without own page


see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Creating_a_page_describing_key_or_value for some info how OSM Wiki pages are created note: linked page is in a very early draft, edits, contributions are greatly appreciated! Even comments about what is unclear or missing greatly increase chance of further improvements. For example comment which TODO is especially important is very likely to result in edit fixing it.


Following are tags with growing usage without their wiki page. Either fixing that tagging or creating page documenting de facto use is needed.

Note also that pages may exist as just redirects! If page redirects to place where it is explained it may be still useful to create a separate page for it. water=fishpond (increase by 2527 in last 100 days): https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:water=fishpond

Important mismatch of OSM Wiki and data items

Important mismatches between data items and OSM Wiki that are worth spending time on fixing them (minor ones are skipped, see Category:Data item issues if you want all of them):

Parsing of infobox failed (typical issues are minor)
