<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The OSM World Discord server usually
has people on that can answer basic questions
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://discord.gg/q6HnfNZ">https://discord.gg/q6HnfNZ</a><br>
Doing the iD tutorial teaches the basics and is easy to learn. One
can learn the basic tags by using the presets found using the iD
search box. Tagging a basic individual object can be learned from
the wiki.<br>
<br>
However some tagging situations are more complex, like how to tag
a school (What tags go on schoolyard vs. the building) or bus
routes, or admin boundaries, etc. There are some nice guides
buried in the wiki but it can be difficult for a beginner to wade
through all the component tags before finding a guide to the
whole. This can be discouraging to a new mapper. Even more so when
you do find a guide, for example, on tagging bus routes but then
not being sure if its the new scheme or the old scheme and so many
contradictions can make people give up.<br>
<br>
Wiki cleanup & a front page link to an index of authoritative
& current tagging guides for complex entities would be nice.
Maybe call it "Special Mapping Guides"<br>

<p>From a pedagogic point of view I would consider that
suboptimal, no to mention that it would be endless.<br>

<div>I expect that endless part may be<br>

<p>For anybody that is going to contribute more than once (and
iDs tutorial does a good job of guiding through that), we want
them to learn the basic concepts of OSM and enable them to
extend that to new situations.<br>

<div>It is intended to be tutorial for the first edit.<br>

<div>I remember that I was quite confused <br>

<p>That is different from a guided contribution model, say for
example with <a
href="https://osmybiz.osm.ch/#/19/47.15976/8.36968"
rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://osmybiz.osm.ch/</a> which is
preferable for people that don't want to contribute to OSM in
general but just want to add and maintain a specific object.</p>
