[OSM-talk] OSM-Tagging in Wikidata

[Kolossos]

Ok, lets take the second example of Wind turbines:
power=generator + generator:source=wind

The first tag "power=generator" is a more general tag and you have the
specific tag "generator:source=wind". For the second tag you have a Wiki
page:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:generator:source%3Dwind
On this wiki-page you can find that the general tag "power=generator" is
obligatory. So this tag delivers no additional information, because it
exist in each case.

In my eyes the first general tag exist only for historical reasons and
for software/render-styles that are not very specific, they can work so
without an update after each creation of a new tag.

So please see the project as a project to link from Wikidata to OSM-Wiki
and taginfo, not as a project to register all combinations of tags.

Greetings Tim
