Tagging of pedestrian areas

There are two methods to mark pedestrian ways as areas: highway=pedestrian + area=yes or area:highway=pedestrian. You said in this change that they should be used depending on the size. Is there any reason for this? I meant, why not use them indistinctly or always one of them? Where is the size limit to use one or another. Is this discussed any where? Best regards, Javiersanp (talk) 12:42, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

It was about difference between highway=footway and highway=pedestiran, on areas it works the same as on lines - way through usual footway is highway=footway and way through named square or pedestrian zone is highway=pedestrian. Combination of highway=* + area=yes is rendered on default style, but it is incorrect in opinion of some users (problems with some routing services etc.), that's where area:highway=* idea came from.

Bleachers Talk page

Hi, curious why you deleted a bunch of conversation on the leisure=bleachers Talk page? Thanks, Neuhausr (talk) 19:55, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi, it wasn't intentionally, I don't know why it vanished, because I have only added my response. Anyway, feel free to repair the page. Meanwhile, I will change boxes in bleachers and grandstand documentations to "seating". Tomasz W (talk) 05:56, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
Figured it might be something like that. No worries! :) --Neuhausr (talk) 17:23, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Attribution

Hello! And sorry for bothering you, but descriptions of files you uploaded need to be improved.

You have uploaded files which are licensed as requiring attribution. But right now attribution is not specified properly.

Please, ask for help if something is confusing or unclear in this message.

Please, fix that problem with this uploads - note that images with unclear licensing situation may be deleted.

Attribution may be missing completely or just be specified in nonstandard way, in either case it needs to be improved. Note that using CC-BY files without specifying attribution is a copyright violation, which is often unethical and unwanted. So clearly specifying required attribution is needed if license which makes attribution mandatory was used.

If it is applying to your own work which not based on work by others - then you can select own user name or some other preferred attribution or even change license to for example {{CC0-self}}

For your own work: ensure that it is clearly stated at file page that you created image/took the photo/etc

For works by others - please ensure that there is link to the original source which confirms license and that you used proper attribution, or that source is clearly stated in some other way.

Especially for old OSM-baded maps, made from data before license change on 12 September 2012 you should use "map data © OpenStreetMap contributors" as at least part of attribution

For old OSM Carto maps, which predate license change on 12 September 2012 you can use a special template {{OSM Carto screenshot||old_license}}
