[OSM-talk-be] Multilingual names

[Marc Gemis]

I just stumbled upon the wiki page
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multilingual_names#Brussels
I was surprised to read e.g. "Note that the "first mapper rule" is
deprecated now." and "In OSM, we have a consensus to use a fixed
order" (both changes made by Gplv2 on Oct 19, 2016)

Not that I care about the order of French and Dutch on those
streetnames, but it would be nice to inform the community about such
an important change via the mailing list, not ? If this is indeed the
consensus I would have violated it since I did not know deprecation of
the first mapper rule.

I asked Gplv2 to point me to the discussion leading to the consensus.

So I have no problems with this being the consensus, I do have a
problem that such an important change is made without informing the
mailing list.
