tags related to the "fibre-arts" aren't all that well documented
yet and not at all well cross-referenced. Would anyone object to
an attempt to better cross-reference and distinguish these
categories? <br></p></blockquote><div dir="auto">No, and in general feel free to add such "see also" <br></div><div dir="auto">(except cases like linking barely used controversial tags, but this does not apply here)<br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><p>In particular it seems to me like shop=wool should encompass
things like knitting needles, and specify that it would be selling
(wool) yarn, and not wool fabric as that would fall under
shop=fabric. <br></p><p>I would also want to drop references to yarn and knitting needles
from shop=sewing, pointing to shop=wool for that. <br></p><p>It seems like shop=haberdashery and shop=sewing need some further
discussion, as they seem almost impossible to distinguish from the
wiki documentation.<br></p></blockquote><div dir="auto">Note that maybe they are effectively duplicates with the same meaning in practice<br></div><div dir="auto">And in such cases OSM Wiki should not pretend that there is some systematic difference.<br></div> </body>
