Because they do a search of the wiki (and the mailing lists, and osm
The search box is also a lot faster than opening MapFeatures. Indeed
there'd be a case for abolishing MapFeatures (and just making
MapFeatures a category).

The voting process may not be representative, but I believe it is the best
approach for defining a new tag that OSM currently has.
- at least there is some discussion and some documentation
- interested people have one place to look for new tags and join the

He did not reverse anything, the craft tag and all documentation is
still there, its just not listed as a common used tag (because it's not
common used right now).

what about removing "highway=byway" from the mapfeatures? It is used
less then 2000 times (which is very little for highway), and it is
UK-only, so IMHO no reason at all to be listed on the main features
page, could be moved to mapfeatures UK.
cheers,

As a new tagger, I look to Map Features to see what tags were supported by
the community, not to see the most common tags. When I want to know the
most commonly used tags, I use some automated tool like taginfo or tagstat.
We are wrestling with a presentation issue and clearly a single wiki page

Inspired by the discussion on the "Successful proposal" proposal
discussion I restarted the discussion about improving the map features
management on the german forums:
http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=9604
Everybody feel free to join the discussion :)

Of course Pieren, but I just wanted to point out, that there is still a
discussion. I'm aware of the fact that german users are only a subset of
all mappers worldwide, but it might be a good way to talk it on a
localized level and then compare the results with others.

Hi all,
I'm happy to announce the creation of the Garmin Map features part of
the of SchemaTroll 2.01 project
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/SchemaTroll_2.01#Garmin_Map_Features
I used the 2nd latest version of the mkgmap features, and compared it
with the Master Garmin map features list. and
Looking at very high zoom levels on Mapnik, I noticed that the East
Asian countries (Japan, China, etc) have their names written in native
script with the English name in parentheses, but a lot of other
countries (e.g. all the ones with Arabic characters) don't seem to
follow this.
