Hello, on the french-speaking mailing, a contributor noticed a high rate of incorrect value for the tag "phone". the most common error is using the national format number instead of the international format.
A monthly project 'll maybe fix some of those errors. Some quality tool can help those fix. But the best would be to avoid the mistake when a user fill in the data in iD, josm or whatever. Is anyone aware of a kind of "preset" that can be used for phone ? Otherwise it would be useful to create with local communities a wiki page containing a list of valid prefixes example + 322xxxxxxx is valid, +331xxxxxxxx also but 01xxxxxxxx is not valid in France. Or using something like https://github.com/googlei18n/libphonenumber/ https://github.com/googlei18n/libphonenumber/blob/master/FAQ.md#where-do-we-get-information-from-to-determine-if-a-number-range-is-valid Would it also be useful to put a corrective suggestion? for example 01xxxxxxxx #+331xxxxxxxx Of course, I am not talking about the exact form of the list, nor the fact that some countries will have a list, while others not. nor the difficulty when a poi has several corresponding numbers attached several countries. I 'm talking about the general guideline. The aim is not to forbid some values but to allow common editor to guide the user to avoid a very common error. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
