hi<br>
this is Sergio Sevillano aka User:Sergionaranja<br>
<br>
sorry for the inconveniences.<br>
I think I have behave correctly though...<br>
<br>
I wanted to have linear barriers in use, so I found the barrier
proposal which was the best option for it, and i promoted it along with
other users to be approved as it was kind of stalled. the barrier=gate
was included before i started modifying it. (i still think it fits
better under barrier)<br>
i followed the processes mentioned at<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features#Proposal_Status_Process">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features#Proposal_Status_Process</a><br>
<br>
before voting i have called a final rfc in which i explicitly
mentioned that gate was involved as i thought this could be tricky...<br>
as user circeus (we have worked a lot in this, thanks) pointed out
there were many uses for the deprecating values (highway=gate >>
17,000 + uses in Europe according to Tagwatch). we did a lot of
documentation also on wiki links for non english users to know those
weird types of gates... blah, blah...<br>
<br>
also followed the
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features#Post-vote_clean-up">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features#Post-vote_clean-up</a><br>
wich clearly mentions the "Add entry to Map_Features page."<br>
also found Deprecated_features page.<br>
so here i thought a combination of both should be done.<br>
<br>
i modified highway features so the change has more clear to all,
although you are right it don´t belongs there anymore<br>
i did not include linear barriers there.<br>
<br>
<b>now comes the interpretation</b><br>
as Frederic says map features should be actual used features.<br>
but i favour more an interpretation that map features is recommendation
of "how to tag", for uses there is the tagwatch.<br>
<br>
i have never intended to force others to map or tag in a particular way.<br>
<br>
i thougt that changing highway=gate to barrier=gate was such
straightforward and uncomplicated that the sudden chage was best.<br>
taking in account only osmrender and mapnik i thought that those render
changes are easy enough to be done quite fast.<br>
<br>
i didnt take in account any other render neither the editors: JOSM,
potlach... (two whip lashes for me)<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>things I have changed</b><br>
<br>
I have created key:barrier
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Key:barrier">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Key:barrier</a> to reflect those
approved by
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Approved_features/barriers">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Approved_features/barriers</a><br>
<br>
i have modified map features highway template which has been reverted
by Frederic to original state<br>
<br>
also <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Deprecated_features">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Deprecated_features</a> which
Frederic has already mention more correct uses of deprecation and has
leaved the new barrier= recommendation<br>
<br>

<br>
so now when you search for gate or highway=gate redirects to
barrier=gate.<br>
this might be changed to original state and create independent
barrier=gate so both pages are up at same time?<br>
<br>
<br>
finally, I´am glad all this thoughts have come out, as some changes in
the procedures should be done and uploaded.<br>
such as proposal_process, approval_process, post_vote_clean_up...
deprecation concept<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
