Mechanical edit Proposal to clean up street=*-tag

[os-emmer]

@jimkats

I think there was a recent discussion about using addr:street for cases where there are no named roads and POI’s actual address is usually just the postal code and place

That is something that would be interesting to know during MapRoulette-Challenge. Please let us know if you find it.

I think the rest (of the buildings) are fine to edit automatically

I think to do a clean up on housenumber=* we need more filters. There are for example:
housenumber=B1-32, housenumber=1/10 or housenumber=7E1. These could be housenumbers but that should be checked manually. Than there are 4 digit long housenumber=*. That could be addr:housenumber=* but also addr:postcode=*. That should be checked manually.

A mechanical edit like this could work:

1. Search for everything with housenumber=* and building=*.
2. Filter out everything that has addr:housenumber=*
3. Filter out every object where housenumber=* is not numerical.
4. Filter out every object where housenumber=* has more than 3 digits.
5. Move housenumber=* to addr:housenumber=*

I can’t tell exactly right now but I think that would edit 150-200 objects.

What do you think about such a mechanical edit?
