it would be worth expanding a bit Key:ref:FR:SIRET - OpenStreetMap Wiki - currently it looks like one more pointless external reference added by badly done imports - not saying it is, but nothing indicates otherwise
if adding it is supported and done by French community and it is actually useful, it would be worth noting there
(French page mentions some use in Osmose, no idea is it more useful than a typical Osmose report - and nothing about whether adding it is supoerted by French community, though it has a lot of technical detail. Some may be also worth translating, like valid patterns.)
I admit that I am also not fan of it, though it never reached point where I bothered to make issue on issue tracker, investigate why it got added and how mappers feel about it.
(if anyone is invested into this enough enough to do this, feel free to do so)
It is simply a safety policy issue. I’m not against introducing new tagging when the need is clear, there is no existing tagging (in this case there is only misused tagging), and it is done in the open (contrary to gaming the system). Yes I’m not particularly in love with it, but lets not redo the whole discussion.
PS: for what it is worth, the proposal would have easily been accepted at the time, with a lot more people weighing in than your typical tagging proposal.
Thanks for the sample. From the diff, the changes seem straightforward . In the discussions/pages, I didn’t find any mention of potential uses, but from generator:method | Keys | OpenStreetMap Taginfo Germany this could be 300,000 features (currently 3700). Regrettably, they didn’t go for ref:DE:mastr .
Is there a way to limit it to areas below countries?
I am not really convinced (yet?), and plan to do via ferrata first (which has much more clear support and probably bigger safety issues from mapping it as highway=path and should be fine to add suport to just it for start).
From what I remember vote happened but not succeeded? (this does not mean that idea was bad or that it is blocked)
I propose expanding the tag highway=proposed. Currently, a preset is available, but you can’t search for it. Also, it only has a name=* field, unlike the other highway=* values.
weird, it is not supported by tagging schema from what I see
where you see it working?
This is entirely deliberate, to discourage using it. highway=proposed is widely used in cases where it should be rather removed and should not be encouraged to be used more.
And having it as a searchable preset may mislead people into thinking that using it heavily and early and for very dubious routes is a good idea.
in this case I treat it as opportunity for people who have no Github account for one reason to another to voice their needs, with me lifting ideas worth doing
not sure whether enabling discussions at Github would help with that (or anything else), for StreetComplete I am dubious whether it was worth doing - I have feeling that many go into void, I had plans to respond to some but now months later I see that it will likely never happen. I would not want this to repeat elsewhere.
