[OSM-talk] Fragile Ways

[Ben Robbins]

If this has been raised before, or even sorted could I be redirected 
please...

I'm really concerned that ways can be deleted so incredably easily 
considering that a way holds data within itself so really should be treated 
like a wiki page rather than just a word on a page.  Single clumsey clicks 
should never make a wiki page vanish.

A few days ago I found the A47 to between Swaffam and Norwich and a bit 
beyond had vanished.  I stuck it back, but this could probably just have 
been avoided if a message had popped up saying ''are you shore you wish to 
delete this (123 segmet) way, as I suspect it was removed accidentially.

I think the longer a way the more the warning. So It gives an extra warning 
for every x hundred segments long a way is.  It just seems incredably unsafe 
that potentially I could distroy the Pan-Amercian Highway, for example, with 
nothing more than a sporadic twich.  Prevention of the error would be far 
better than reverting it every time.
