I have a site that shows invalid phone numbers in OSM data and suggests fixes for them. Portugal is included in this:
As of today, there are 10451 invalid numbers detected, 18% of all mapped phone values.
Many of these are easily fixable as they are simply cases where no country code has been included or extra symbols like brackets have been added. Take a look at the suggested fixes and let me know what you think.
I notice that there are a lot of free phone numbers listed on electric charging stations, I am not sure that this is valid tagging, since surely the charging stations cannot receive calls. Perhaps this would be better in operator:phone?
I have an ongoing automated edit running in a number of other countries and would like to propose extending it to Portugal. I can provide a full list of the edits if that would be helpful, it is most of the suggested fixes on the website, not including ones with other text in the tag value or any value with more than one phone number.
Note: I am happy to use the translate button for your replies.
As far as I am concerned, having consulted the documentation provided, I consider this update to be useful.
I cannot find any errors or inconsistencies in the reports; the format of the proposed telephone numbers is correct in terms of the national and local parts.
Adding operator prefix to the phone tag seems appropriate to me, but the opinion of the main editor for charging stations (Alexmol) should be important to this decision.
Let’s wait for further opinions on this proposed update.
The bot has started in Portugal, completing lots of fixes today, and will continue to address new issues as they appear.
Everything left on the website are issues that the bot won’t fix and then the truly invalid numbers that cannot be parsed. The suggested fixes are mostly where multiple numbers appear in a tag or there is a duplicate phone number.
841 invalid numbers, of which 676 have a fix suggested.
