So, I was looking at tagging of some POIs. So far I fixed some clear unfinished edits or mistaggings.
And submitted fixes for NSI suggesting outright wrong tags (somehow it was not noticed so far and people applied “upgrades” blindly, without checking) - see for example link Q21100245 (Anicura) for Anicura entry, not Q110299350 (Animates) by matkoniecz · Pull Request #10390 · osmlab/name-suggestion-index · GitHub and Poczta Polska is branded, no need for operator tag by matkoniecz · Pull Request #10076 · osmlab/name-suggestion-index · GitHub
I also added some missing info to Wikidata (which is used by my QA script) about relation between some brands.
I also discovered that it is relatively common, especially for user editing with Organic Maps, to change only name
tag without doing anything about brand
or brand:wikidata
and other tags
These leaves objects in an inconsistent state. In case someone would be interested in fixing some, here is a small sample of them. I am definitely not going to fix all of them.
Not sure yet what would be best done with them, maybe remote fixing is fine in general (remove brand
, brand:wikidata
and other tagging that referred to previous shop version). I did it in cases which I investigated and where I was sure enough to edit OpenStreetMap.
In some cases it was simply a typo, rather than someone changing name of a shop (say, someone linked some German town instead of brand).
Also, in some cases my detector returned bogus entries where OpenStreetMap was 100% fine (for example Wikidata was having multiple entries for one brand).
And obviously it would be great to fix one of root causes - problems with Organic Maps editor. For now I started Is Organic Maps editor handling brand tag? · organicmaps · Discussion #10043 · GitHub
Here is a small list of some apparently affected elements where brand:wikidata
and maybe also other tags are likely wrong (please, do not edit them if situation is dubious):
