User talk:Rtfm/namespace overview

Support this broad idea

I support the broader idea of using namespaces rather than single keys/values to map places that offer sales, rentals, service, etc. of specific goods.

Using nampespaces enable two fundamentally important things: (1) a single object can be tagged indicating that it offers multiple {something for sale, rent, repair, etc.} and (2) mappers can tag places that DO or DO NOT offer {something for sale, rent, repair, etc.} i.e., with the value of =yes/no.

Presently I don't know of any other tagging scheme that supports both of those goals.

I appreciate that the user that created this page/suggestion may have been edit warring (causing them to be blocked); I don't condone that but I do think the idea of broader adoption of namespaces is a fundamentally good idea and should be more widely used and accepted. -Osmedit (talk) 20:53, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

Regardless, discussing in this page won't be visible. Again, please avoid fragmenting questions by creating a section on multiple pages. Talk:Rental#Namespaces
