Disclaimer: I lean in the "avoid semicolons" camp but am not hard-set against them. That doesn't look like an all-out edit war yet (as of 02:14, 18 January 2015), just user xxzme doing a few edits in a row to make the page much more onesided than it was, and user Aseerel4c26 returning some level-headedness and neutrality to the matter. Only if we start seeing more blind reverts and re-reverts will it be an issue. For what it's worth (and keeping in mind my disclaimer), I think the page as it stands right now (02:14, 18 January 2015) is pretty decent.It lacks the mention of "numbered keys" schemes, but otherwise presents all the info nicely. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
