I don't think it's necessarily wrong to tag the individual components of a road with wikidata, although it could lead to maintenance headaches, but some feel strongly that should not be done. Some have argued not to invent a relation just to be able to avoid tagging multiple things with the same wikidata item and I tend to agree: invent a relation if a relation is needed in its own right, don't try to justify i t with wikidata, but once you have a relation (for whatever other reason) that's the right place for the wikidata tag. > I will be going through the taginfo list[1], and be unifying those tags. > Is that ok for the majority here? > It's OK with me, but give it a week or two for any strong objections to appear.

It will probably have many statements along the lines of "Most people say X but some say Y" or "Opinion is divided." But still a good idea if we can at least narrow it down a little. -- Paul
