And if the information would have been present then you would have added the
oneway tag as preset ? I'm sometimes scared about the poor experience of
some people in charge of big imports. Because again, the water flow is a
very old convention in OSM, probably since the beginning of the waterway
documentation on the wiki. I cannot imagine people defining tagging presets
for mass imports without checking the existing conventions (or minimum
agreements) first...

If you think that the current convention is not mentioned in enough places in 
the wiki, then you can easily add it to more wiki pages. Nobody is going to 
complain about that.

If you find rivers not mapped according to the current convention, you can fix 
them. Nobody is going to complain about that.

If you are going to advocate the misuse of a tag that means something else, 
then people will complain. Not only because it is misuse, but also because it 
doesn't solve your problem. People mapped those rivers "wrong" because they 
either didn't know the direction of flow, didn't care for the direction of 
flow or were not aware of the current convention. Changing the current 
convention does have _absolutely_ no effect on any of these causes.

Last but not least: What people want to change about trees is after the 
tagging changed. That is documenting what happens. What you want to change 
about rivers, is trying to force your world view onto other people. This last 
is generally considered bad form in OSM.

Even the opponent(s) of changing the wiki's tree definition didn't try
to argue that the wiki definition was better than the alternative. There
was disagreement over whether changing it would cause a loss of
information, and whether it could be tolerated.

With waterways, some actually seem to like the current definition.

So the difference is that the wiki definition for natural=tree is quite
unanimously considered a bad choice. This makes changing the definition
more attractive than trying to increase acceptance of the definition. If
the definition itself is considered decent, however, educating mappers
and fixing existing errors can be a more appealing option.

oneway=yes has nothing to do with river flow, oneway indicate a legal
issue for transport (in river case it can apply to segment of a river
that is allowed for boat only in oneway).

If we really need a tag to indicate river flow, it can't be oneway.
And if we define a tag for flow, how would you define the direction,
what would be the reference ?

you'd want it to work with respect to the direction of the way, as
is done with oneway.

a waterflow=* tag would probably look very much like oneway,
with -1 for flow which is the reverse of the direction of
the way.

Using JOSM it's a one click.
JOSM show the drawing direction of ways (with arrows when selected or
always depending on settings) and a simple button reverse the selected
way(s).

Potlach has a little icon with an arrow that show he "global direction"
of the selected way and the same icon reverse the way.
Not so easy but not difficult.

So the reference for direction would be the direction (drawing) of he
way. It would be close to what it's now as it's this drawing direction
that should indicate the flow.
But it would be explicit.

Then it's mapped incorrectly. If you have a way from A to B and you
extend it from A, it now goes from C to B. If the nodes went A-B-C the
portion between A and B would be mapped twice.

Don't know for Potlach but JOSM revert all ways selected. In the context
you expose, you must select only the portion in the wrong way then
revert or you can merge wrong way section with a right way section (JOSM
ask you the direction).

If the river (multiple sections) has been include in the waterway
relation (1), you can easily check sections with JOSM by opening the
relation window and sort the way, it qwill display the continuity (with
small icons on the right) so you can see if the whole river is correctly
ordered (all ways in the same direction).

note :
In France we began using widely this relation tag and it's also very
good tool to check river mapping advancement and to use efficiently
waterway (2).

Tagging oneway=yes on a motorway is an example of tagging a special case.  The 
general assumption on roads is that they are two-way unless tagged otherwise.  
Tagging the motorway as oneway=yes makes sure that routing calculations will 
work correctly.  Sections of motorways sometimes become two-way (usually with a 
safety barrier down the middle) when the other half of the motorway is closed 
for road construction.

And river implies boat=yes...

Those are special cases not the standard assumption for highway=* or
waterway=*

Idon't really understand where we are going in this discussion.

Did you want to use oneway for river ?

Or did you want a special tag to explicitly express rover flow (based on
the drawing direction) ?

I agree that the waterway flow would be more explicit for newbie, but to
know the new tag they should read the wiki and the default rule (drawing
direction is flow direction) is allready there.
If they do not read the actual wiki, why do they read the new one ?

But perhaps should the wiki be more precise on this point.

This isn't just for newbies. I've been here for almost a year and I
just found out about this convention a few weeks ago. I'm the kind of
person that doesn't bother to read the manual unless necessary, and
the meaning of most tags is clear from their rendering or name. A tag

Yes i understand, but own could you figure "flow=downstream" exist ? 
You must read a "manual" to know that.

I we decide (not both of us, we must be more) to change river flow
convention (from drawing direction to flow tag), we're facing a problem
with river allready drawn correctly (a majority in France where we
conduct a project for that). We have to ask many user to redo their job
be adding a new tag.

On the orher side, a flow tag is explicit (but need to be read in the
manual, noone can invent it) and tell directly what is the flow
direction.

My point of view on the "problem" is that flow is not so important in
OSM. 
For example, I do not know map that render flow actually ; but it could
be in the future.

And also that users, to know that they must add a flow tag to river,
will have to read the wiki. And the actual wiki explain own thing works
for flow (drawing direction). 
In fact i do not believe adding this tag will help. 
In fact, i think it will change nothing. 
If people do not read the wiki they will continue to ignore conventions.

The only positive thing with flow tag would be to solve problem to know
if a river was mapped with its flow or not. But the negative seems to
heavy for me (need to modifying all existing river correctly mapped).

(note that i also do not allways reading f*** manual, but for OSM a use

Personally I think this is fine. It may not be perfectly "semantically
clean", but it poses no difficulties in terms of implementation in
editors, renderers etc. So, this works fine:

man_made=tower
tower=radio_mast

One test to apply when considering stuff like this: what would happen

Would it be the end of the world if a radio mast and an air traffic
control tower were rendered the same? (Answer: no, it would be

That would be fine too. The only risk is that more often, the thing
doesn't get rendered at all, because it's yet one more tag that
everything needs to support.
