Opnieuw bedankt, het is toch vreemd hoe dikwijls dat gebeurt bij mij.
Dat bevestigt trouwens mijn mening dat we ons moeten wapenen tegen fouten met Mapillary.

Thank you for your comments. I see that you have edited the mapillary tag again, but unfortunately you have made another mistake, by putting the whole mapillary URL in the field. You must only put the ID number in there. (It follows "&pKey=" in the URL). I have corrected this one for you.

No, that is no mistake, the Wiki is wrong.

@philippec, stating "the Wiki is wrong" without providing any more insight isn't really helpful in any discussion about this topic.

I am currently working with all mapillary values and I can safely say: Of the 202.2k distinct values that are in the "mapillary" key, only 37.6k (18,6%) have a "http"-notation.

Furthermore, the wiki specifically states "The reason for adding the key and not the full URI is that the URI might change (and already did in the past), but the key will stay the same. For the same reason the direct link to the image (e.g. https://images.mapillary.com/.../thumb-2048.jpg) should not be tagged.".

We're quite literally seeing that the v3 notation of the web-app was https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/... and the v4 notation is https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=..., so the statement above is totally accurate.

As I am preparing an automated edit (which was discussed on the Tagging-ML) that aims to transferring the "old" V3 ids to the new V4 ids, it is vital that every misunderstandings about this key are solved before we start with this work. I would therefore politely ask you to provide any insight into why you think it's wrong to only save the ID in the database.

Thanks.

Thank you for linking the forum discussion.

As this is in Dutch which I sadly do not speak, I had to use Google Translate on your last entry and am quite frankly shocked that you call me "a German do-gooder is busy maiming my work". If you believe that this is the right way for a respectful discussion in this community I seriously have to reconsider contributing anything else.

You write "the Mapillary key has changed, luckily without any problems." which is an argument that I simply cannot understand. There were tons of Thumbnail-links that do no work anymore. That the old mapillary links still work for the web-app (with using four redirects to come to the right URL) might be right, yet the Mapillary API simply will only accept the new IDs if you were to use that API in any software, so there is no way around changing the values.

Is your only problem that we removed (and plan on) removing the https-part in the key or are you openly opposing the change of the old to the new IDs?

You could also join in the discussion on the Tagging-Mailinglist.

This was not well explained.
