Hi all Yesterday iD got a new preset: building=semidetached_house. https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/2776
This tag is *not documented anywhere at all*. Additionally it seems to merely be the result of an import ([1]) (See my comments on the GitHub issue.) Bryan doesn't see any problems with undocumented tags. I do ([2]) so I want to have this tag either officially approved and documented or officially obsoleted by another tag. I think the tag in se is fine, though not really consistent with building=detached. Does anyone think a better value would be more appropriate? If it's ok, I'll created a proposal for it based on my understanding of the tag. Cheers Ruben [1] It introduced building:type=semidetached_house, building:type=dwelling_house, building:type=row_house and building:type=multi_storey. A lot but not all occurences seem to have been mechanically changed from building:type=* into building=*. [2] * It makes the data look wrong * It does not allow mappers to understand how it should be used * It doesn't give the devs of other editors the chance to implement it as well * Mappers of other editors are not encouraged to use it and may well never even hear about it * You can't know if you are mapping it correctly * Data users can't know about it, even though they may well be interested in supporting it etc... -- The field "from" of an email is about as reliable as the address written on the back of an envelope.
