Looks like the changes were made in April by Multimodall.
As I say .. not a tag I use. My usual things exclude all motor vehicles
.. so I don't have that problem.
How many cases are there where cars only are evident? i.e. where hgv,
trucks motorcycles, side-cars, tractors and mopeds are not effected?
While they may exist in the data base .. are they not really motor_vehicle?
I don't know.. will have a look locally
Ok .. they all look like they should be motor_vehicle not motorcar!!!
Thanks .. I'll change all these here to motor_vehicle.
Perhaps the wiki page for motorcar should suggest the use of motor_vehicle.
