Hello, mappers.

I've detected deletion of nodes for seas by user ChrissW-R1. The list, possibly incomplete:

Baltic Sea  -  https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/118429470
Sea of Azov  -  https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/118012195
Black Sea  -  https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/117937884
Wadden Sea  -  https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/107545393


The https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dsea page does not explicitly oblige to save the node in case a multipolygon is created, but not all renders can handle poorly maintainable sea relations. In particular, the sea labels disappeared from OpenMapTiles-based maps.

Can we bring the sea nodes back and amend the wiki article with strong appeal not to delete them?


Best regards,
Alexey
