[Talk-us] Best practices for dealing with old TIGER tags?

[Russell Deffner]

Yes, ok – so ‘aging myself’ a bit – but I did all my locale TIGER cleanup with P2, so my practice was to review/almost always fix geometry, then look at ‘function’/classification of the roadway, then just delete the reviewed tag and automagically those uid tags and such would go away. So it seems now we are talking that even more original TIGER tags are ‘useless’ and should be removed, which I have no problems with, I’m sure there were several dozen I just deleted everything (sometimes the entire way) because the road was actually a driveway or otherwise completely wrong.

Ø  Unless something changed, I think both Potlatch and JOSM will remove the ‘junk’ tags from TIGER if you delete the reviewed=no

 

I’ve deleted thousands of tiger:reviewed tags (after proper review) and have never seen JOSM take anything else along for the ride.  JOSM *does* remove the yellow glow around ways once you remove tiger:reviewed, but that’s all I’ve seen.

Russell is probably referring to this: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/7915 

I think most of these are gone by now.
