[OSM-talk] Could I globally replace [building:level] with [building:levels] ?

[john whelan]

My personal view is treat it as an import and do the same documentation.

I'd also do it country by country if the number is greater than say twenty,
perhaps lumping smaller counties together.

Having said that I have been known to look at JOSM and if I see a number of
errors such as this to simply correct them in a single changeset.
