Did you try the edit button on top of the main www.openstreetmap.org page?

Relation 12907666

Of course, a valid MP is a valid MP and if you feel comfortable with those, you’re not alone. However the argument against bigones I found sensible is to think of your fellow (future) mappers to can be put away by such a complicated task when it comes to update a simple forest.

Relation 12907666

It’s definitely a good idea to split such polygons, but that’s a huge job in itself.

Openstreetmap passed its 100'000th km of nordic ski pistes !

Yep, just updated my signature on the diary to make things clear.

The stats at Opensnowmap.org are updated daily counting ways length in the rendering database. This counts both ways and relation with piste:type=nordic, but removing duplicates (meaning a way part of a relation is not counted twice). It’s here: code.

I noticed a while ago that we were approaching a big round value, so I recently checked every day to make a diary entry of it ;-)

My personal attempt to harmonize trail (Hiking and MTB) difficulty rating scales

Maybe you should post this on your wiki user page, because this diary entry cannot be read on mobile.

Added a review portal link to https://opencampingmap.org/

This makes sense :) I should have checked twice the tags in Vespucci, may have found myself a bit lost in the extensive preset.

Hourly update seems stalled. I added a campsite days ago near Glamondans, France.

Intégration de données open-data

Je rajouterai bien 2-3 points en préambule, issus de wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:Import/Guidelines, par exemple.

A deep dive into the OSM Wiki for service=driveway, the proposal service=Driveway2 and lack of professionalism by one OSM Wiki administrator

While I used to wholeheartedly agree with the same definition as yours, Richard, lately I’m more inclined to tolerate the other one, widely used, de facto, undocumented : “like a residential, but [rendered] thinner”. Once you come to accept that, further discussion become quite useless.

The JOSM Journey Just Jingled...

Wondering why you have to move a node over 10 miles?? :)

News from OpenStreetMap's classic raster tile map software stack

Good job! I was quite pleased a few weeks ago to see some work have been done on mod_tile while upgrading my tile server. If now I can just upgrade from a package, it’s even better!

Une Bretagne sans haies...

Les gouttes d’eaux… Je suis tombé sur cette région ce matin en intégrant natural=tree et tree_row dans le style d’opensnowmap.org pour l’hiver prochain:

piste:difficulty on ski routes relations - not so great

You are certainly right. Maybe the best thing to do is to document this usage of aggregate / average difficulty on relations.

piste:difficulty on ski routes relations - not so great

Fallback on relation tag is technically feasible, of course. But given the way nordic difficulty is defined, I won’t dare sending everyone including 70+ year old on a trail if Joe mapper didn’t mapped each and every way difficulty. It seems to me that taking into account the ways difficulty only is to stay on the safe side. Also, average and maximum difficulty can be determined by looking at the members way tags, so why look at the relation difficulty at all?

iD editor should "nudge" mappers into best tagging practices

@kucai, no, it is not the norm in a great part of the world, so better be explicit in your mapping.

Mass edits are bad

Luckily enough, sed can fix a mass edit! :-)

Showing boundaries as a separate layer on https://map.atownsend.org.uk

For the record, and as this topic has recently been brought up from the QA, labels with transparent color on the base map works well for Opensnowmap. A few street and city labels are missing of course.

First edit completed

Ah, and of course you can add highway=path to the same way to indicate summer use.
