[OSM-talk] place=locality open for voting

[Brent Easton]

The general consensus after a couple of weeks of discussion seems to be that this would be a useful addition, so proposed tag 

  place=locality 

is now open for voting at

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/Locality

Regards,
Brent.

------------------
place=locality

All current place tags are for either populated areas, or for larger areas of County sized or bigger. The place=locality tag is useful for places that have a specific name, but do not necessarily have any geographic feature or population centre that could be used to attach a name tag to. The closest currently available is place=hamlet, but hamlet implies at least a small population centre.
