[Taginfo-dev] Taginfo not showing text from Wiki Template:De:Description

[Stefan Keller]

Hi,

Currently there is no description shown in Taginfo for the german wiki
page of castle [1], see [2] in Taginfo. See also this thread about
this issue here [3]

That's the case for currently about 350 tags (see [4]) because in the
template (displayed in the Wiki page to the right) there is another
template ("De-Desription") which finally contains the descriptive text
of the tag. And Taginfo obvisously currently does not follow templates
within templates.

The reason why (german) mappers introduced this indirection was most
probably, that there is only one description which can be used in the
original tag page but also elsewhere like in the "Map features" page
(see [5]).

To enhance this situation we have at least two options: Either we
eliminate these 350 "De-Desription" templates in the Wiki - or Taginfo
gets extended.

What do you think?

Stefan
