<div>I support automatic edit removing all values starting from <br></div><div>"Retrieved from" and using key history as useless remains.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I will make such edits, unless there is a clear opposition<br></div><div>(note that manual removal of this tags is also acceptable and<br></div><div>also desirable and also will change last edit date of this objects)<br></div><div><br></div><div>It would make cleanup of remaining values easier, most of them appear<br></div><div>to be mistagging of historic tag.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Note that making this tag discardable is not ideal<br></div><div>- there are values such as <a href="https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/history=city_gate">https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/history=city_gate</a><br></div><div>- tag value is not some bizarre name like osmarender:nameDirection but something<br></div><div>where there is a real risk of people actually adding it deliberately<br></div><div><br></div><div>Feb 11, 2021, 16:59 by letopographefou@gmail.com:<br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div>I agree it is a changeset tag, not a feature tag.<br></div><div><br></div><div>But if a tag, whatever it is, shall disappear automatically on edit then it is easier and quicker to massively remove it once. I don't see the benefit of waiting 20 years to maybe one day have removed all of them. Asking tools to manage this exception is a loss of energy from my point of view.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I agree for such mass edit removal if consensus is reached.<br></div><div><br></div><div>LeTopographeFou<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> Message original <br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>De: marc_marc@mailo.com<br></div><div>Envoyé: 11 février 2021 8:59 AM<br></div><div>À: tagging@openstreetmap.org<br></div><div>Répondre à: tagging@openstreetmap.org<br></div><div>Objet: [Tagging] history discardable ?<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Hello,<br></div><div><br></div><div>a long time ago, some tools add history=* to describe how a revert was done.<br></div><div>the current method is a changeset tag, for example<br></div><div>created_by=reverter_plugin;JOSM<br></div><div><br></div><div>however there are still 42000 occurrences in the database and this<br></div><div>number increases every time someone split a way.<br></div><div>e.g. with https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/8105642 tag added in 2008,<br></div><div>but put on any splited way from it<br></div><div>https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/508259115/history<br></div><div>besides the uselessness of this information as a not-a-changeset tag,<br></div><div>it leads to absurd situations with "recovered from version 4 on objects<br></div><div>starting at version 1".<br></div><div>I therefore propose to declare this tag discardable so that this tag<br></div><div>disappears during a modification instead of being propagated.<br></div><div>if it makes consensus, I will open the tickets josm, id, ...<br></div><div><br></div><div>What do you think?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Regards,<br></div><div>Marc<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>_______________________________________________<br></div><div>Tagging mailing list<br></div><div>Tagging@openstreetmap.org<br></div><div>https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging<br></div><div>_______________________________________________<br></div><div>Tagging mailing list<br></div><div>Tagging@openstreetmap.org<br></div><div>https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div> </body>
