[OSM-talk] [Talk-us] How is it that a way is deleted but doesn't show up for undeletion? (horribly screwed up area in northern Pennsylvania)

[Apollinaris Schoell]

most likely the way itself isn't always deleted. if a way is reduced to a one node way it will be just a single dot on the map. nearly impossible to edit and get the history without seeing a real way and where it should be.

Maybe better to revert these whole changesets. This can be tricky if people have started to fix things already.
