[OSM-dev] multipolygon relation and non-closed ways

[Willi]

Imho it's not only bad behavior to change a wiki page 19 times on the same
day it's harming OSM. Having the discussion on the OSM-dev list makes this
even worse.

All changes except minor should be discussed on the Talk page first. Even if
you are the expert and are 200% sure that what you are writing is correct it
might be misleading or even not understandable to non experts. And imho
that's just the case for the new additions. Asking to be involved in
discussions but changing the page without discussion is topping this.

I'm afraid more mapper will turn away from Wiki pages when they neither can
follow nor understand such frequent changes. That's harming OSM.
