[talk-au] Anyone mind if I tidy the wiki a bit?

[osm.talk-au at thorsten.engler.id.au]

Well, rearranging and editing, on top of the questionable edits that are currently on top of the stack of revisions, will cement these changes and make it harder to revert them.

 

Some of the changes have completely replaced what previously was listed as correct tagging practice with something totally different.

Hey Thorsten,

While I don’t intend to simply rearrange sections verbatim, I want to focus on tidying, copy editing for spelling/grammar, and consolidating rather than making editorial decisions.

As Andrew suggested, I will reach out if there is something egregiously incorrect or contradictory, but I’m not intending to validate the entire wiki for correctness: I feel as though that would be beyond the remit of “tidying”. 

More than happy to work with simultaneous updates and additions though—I don’t think it’s a task that can be done in one edit!

Dian

If you do, please make sure to not just incorporate the recent undiscussed, subjective, if not outright wrong changes by Aaronsta.

Hello,

The wiki contains loads of really good information, but it's a little bit hard to navigate: the Australian Tagging Guidelines page seems to contain the most current information but is getting very long. There are a lot of state-specific articles that don't seem to have been updated since 2009.

I'd like to do a bit of housekeeping: tidy up some of the sections, mark some of the pages as archived, etc, to try and make it more approachable for newbies and more maintainable. Nothing substantive would change, nothing would be deleted. Does anyone have any objections, thoughts or concerns with regard to this?

 

dian
