But we have to look at these to decide whether it's better to move towards the contact namespace as a whole or move away from it. It makes little sense to move a couple keys toward "contact:" when the general trend is to avoid its use. In a similar discussion recently, I summed up the popularity of the keys with and without "contact:" prefix. As of the 25th of July, the taginfo numbers were: no contact prefix: 1033228 contact prefix: 154241 > The contact-namespace associate, that the defined facebook- or > googleplus-page are a medium to communicate with the defined object.

There is no difference in meaning between contact:website and website, both do _not_ allow fan-made pages. This should make it obvious that the contact namespace does not imply a different meaning, it is simply a way of organizing keys. One that most mappers don't use. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
