Hi, I had to tag the simplest thing there is: a parking lot closed a few hours on Fridays (during market time). On wiki.osm.org/wiki/Opening_hours, I found explanations by, rather than a simple diagram, a lot of examples and explanations sometimes nearing slang like "off" rather than the internationally understood "closed". After spending much time reading them several times, I didn't find how to code that ubiquitous case. I queried this list and I received something like six different and alternating answers. Someone even said that "off", crowding the page, is not to be used. So, I thought that this fuzzy matter had to be be solved by writing a simple syntax diagram. Should anything be wrong in it, someone would put it right and it would be a good job jobbed and a big step forward. Instead of that, someone added to footnote 1 the very clear sentence "no program works like that", looking like a discussion message. I posted here that it would be better to state (and fix) how the diagram must be rather than how it must not (I also receive repeated updates notices from the discussion page in which someone put a vote). And now, probably in thanks for my contribution, my diagram was adorned with this:
It is obviously something very difficult to understand that a
diagram translating an article needs no discussion nor vote but
needs to be corrected to align with the obscure explanations by
their gurus. Else, it's the article itself that suffers from lack
of discussion and vote. That remark still doesn't say what's wrong
in the diagram. So, I followed my best option: remove my tagging, unsubscribe and forget it all about opening-hours. That's probably what a many mappers have done silently, unless it's true that they tag in every which way. Help OSM, they say. All the best for the rest
