<pre style='color:#555'>>    def description
-    comments.first.body

<p dir="auto">Copying is not the problem, the problem is you won't be able to the description if the user who created it is deleted. You'll have to remember that whenever you access <code class="notranslate">note.description</code>.</p>
<p dir="auto">There was a draft policy by DWG about deleted users that was supposed to be sent to LWG but wasn't. It says that DWG recommends note comments of deleted users to be visible. If that's impossible, "a comment is not shown because ..." is to be displayed instead. Descriptions are not mentioned but the same should apply to them.</p>
<p dir="auto">The default solution if no decision was made was to replace description with "deleted" when the note is displayed:</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/4481/files#diff-74d80704129ce910bd38a56b250122e716028ac0085b3627ea8875b9216b65ceR25-R29">https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/4481/files#diff-74d80704129ce910bd38a56b250122e716028ac0085b3627ea8875b9216b65ceR25-R29</a></p>
<p dir="auto">Since you already started using <code class="notranslate">note.description</code>, one of the following things should happen:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>you remove deleted descriptions here in the model</li>
<li>you remove them on use</li>
<li>we actually do a <em>proper documented policy</em> (in other words it's easier to remove deleted descriptions for now)</li>
</ul>
