[OSM-talk] man_made=tower & other existing tags with no wiki pages

Great idea - it would have helped enormously when I was completely new and
would still be extremely useful now that I am a toddler! I spend a lot of
time searching tagwatch etc. to try to avoid duplication.

Subject: [OSM-talk] man_made=tower & other existing tags with no wiki pages


Hi all, 
I just made the page
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dtower

(and it needs to be fixed, of course) :)

It seems like the proposal page 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Communications_tower

could probably have been avoided if the 'man_made=tower' feature existed.

Perhaps a good idea would be to have all the tags that are currently in
JOSM, listed as in a wiki category.  like 'JOSM Tags' or something like
that? 

I feel that every tag that is used in JOSM should have it's own wiki page,
showing the ICON/default shade value, & line type  & examples of use. .. and
yes, for icons Potlatch too :)

I'll continue to be making more tag pages as i go along, is there any reason
why some of these pages have not yet been made?

Thanks,
Sam Vekemans
