I've only limited experience of making relations in OSM. Today, I made this one:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6868921" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/<wbr>relation/6868921</a><br>
<br>
How could it be improved? Should any tags be moved from the individual<br>
parts, to the relation?<br>
