[OSM-talk] Mass-replace outdated water=salt

[Andrew Hain]

This would clearly be a logical thing to do. It would perhaps be useful to either add relevant water=* tags (such as water=lake) to the ways or to flag in a QA check that their absence is a loose end.

Subject: [OSM-talk] Mass-replace outdated water=salt

Hi,

More than 10 years ago, the "Water details" proposal was accepted. It
included the now well-known tag "salt=yes/no".

Up to the proposal, the tag "water=salt" was mostly used for salt
waters. Since its deprecation, the usage has been not really been added
anywhere and is very slowly getting removed. Currently, it's mostly
still present in some areas of the USA.

Since "salt=yes" is now far more popular, I suggest ending this all with
an automated edit, retagging all "water=salt" to "salt=yes". What do you
think?


Thank you - Emil
