[OSM-talk] bot proposal: values cleanup for roof:shape

[Mateusz Konieczny]

there are some values that are clear typos/duplicates/synonyms of other
ones 
I want to propose one more bot edit cleaning some of them. 

See
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edits/Mateusz_Konieczny_-_bot_account/fixing_malformed_roof:shape_tags#What
for list of values to be changed


Cleaning them up, for clear cases, makes map data more usable, less
confusing for newbies and software alike. At quite low cost of editing
objects. Yes, bot edit WILL cause objects to be edited. Nevertheless,
as result map data quality will improve.

Please comment if any of proposed replacements are dubious and should
not be replaced with an automated edit. In such case please, let me
know which values are problematic and why.

If someone wants to review but needs more than 2 weeks - please write
and I can wait for longer.

Please also comment (or +1) if you checked values proposed to be edited
and you agree with the edit!

This bot edit would be rerun from time to time, from
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Mateusz%20Konieczny%20-%20bot%20account/history
bot account .

I have quite decent experience with bot edits, see 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edits/Mateusz_Konieczny_-_bot_account#Active_tasks

If anyone wants I can help them to find affected objects or present
listing of edits which added this tags or list people who added this
values onto currently tagged osm objects.

Tried to use them as detectors of bogus data, neither were really
useful for this purpose. We have many better ways to find OSM data
requiring human review.

If anyone is looking for more cases where human review is needed - I
would be glad to list them (let me know if you are interested in
specific area or specific type of issues - maybe only shop-related?
maybe only ones that require survey? maybe only ones fixable remotely?)

But there is no point in manual drudgery here, with values clearly
replaceable by better matches.

Also, I have a massive queue (in thousands and tens of
thousands) of automatically detectable issues which are not reported by
mainstream validators, require fixes and fix requires review or
complete manual cleanup. And where such manual cleanup adds value,
unlike entries from tags listed above.

This edit is documented at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edits/Mateusz_Konieczny_-_bot_account/fixing_malformed_roof:shape_tags

there are also many low-use values with one or two or three extra bogus
characters, for example roof:shape = pyramidal22 → roof:shape =
pyramidal

would be also OK to migrate them without listing them
for review here and just add them to replace list later?
And other similar obvious typos appearing or found in future?

Only low use obvious mistakes would be changed without submitting them
for review. If anyone at all will protest and I will not do this and
post for review, like list here, once sufficiently many values are
found.
