[OSM-talk] Map_Features not loading

[Chris Hill]

I don't want to shout you down - this is the talk list, so lets talk.
My experience from *mapping*, not managing the wiki, is why I like the map features on one page.

I use Find on this Page in Firefox to search the page.  I still have to look at proposed features, where I use the same process.  The wiki search returns too many hits to be useful.  But this is just my way of working.  If the list of shops and sports were split off I'd get by, but I like it as it is.
 
cheers, Chris

  The full page has got way too long to actually be useful.  In my
  opinion, it should include the main options for highways, perhaps
  the top 12 most used, and then a link to the rest of the key on a
  seperate page.  Some of the other useful keys (by which, again, I
  mean most used) could have 5 or 6 values detailed on the page and
  their own subpage for the rest of the values, but most keys should
  just be a link to a subpage with the detail..
  
  Do we really need a list of every type of shop in the world (and
  another with every type of sport) on the main map_features page?
  What purpose does that serve?

  I'll probably be shouted down by those who spend their time
  managing the wiki, but my practical experience when it comes to
  actually making maps is we need to keep it simple, and map_features
  has gone way beyond that.
