Bulk edit announcement - non-OSM junk tags by ENSG Battir

The infamous imports by ENSG Battir keep providing additional cleanup tasks…

This time it’s the removal of the following non-OSM junk tags, which probably came from their source GIS database:

  • OBJECTID
  • ID
  • id
  • Shape_Leng
  • Shape_Le_1
  • SYMBOL
  • SYMBOL_2
  • ANGLE
  • ANGLE_2
  • nature

Note: The “nature” tag has nothing to do with the OSM “natural” tags. These are French descriptions of the “highway” tag.

For the list of affected elements, please see this Overpass query

Let me know if there is anything that should prevent the removal of these tags.

A few additional tags associated with these imports were found. Here is the extended list:

  • ANGLE
  • ANGLE_2
  • BUFF_DIST
  • ID
  • ID_2
  • OBJECTID
  • ORIG_FID
  • SYMBOL
  • SYMBOL_2
  • Shape_Area
  • Shape_Le_1
  • Shape_Leng
  • id
  • nature
  • ref=245
  • symbol

Here is the updated Overpass query
