corporate status
"having corporate status" - what it means? I guess that it is legal status in a specific country Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 20:28, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
Usage on relation
Why should not be used on relation? --Mitjajez (talk) 21:21, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
- Improved in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%3Aplace%3Dmunicipality&type=revision&diff=2232355&oldid=2232338 - it can be used with type=boundary Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 21:35, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
Why should we create place values for administrative territorial entities?
Is there are a difference between place=municipality and an area tagged as boundary=administrative admin_level=8? —Dieterdreist (talk) 21:40, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
- This could be seen in the context of the newly-arisen discussion around place=town ([1]). People want to see the names of these municipalities rendered - and are right, I believe. However, at present they abuse place=town to force names of municipalities on the map. Apparently rendering admin_level=8 is a problem ([2]}. Rendering place=municipality might be more feasible. Apart from that, I agree with you that the concepts are the same. --Alfons234 (talk) 17:14, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- If things are so clear and such "abuse" is only aiming at having names rendered for entities for which the current style maintainers have decided to not render them at certain zoom levels where other tags (namely place=town nodes) are rendered, then this is tagging for the renderer and should be stopped. --Dieterdreist (talk) 23:06, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, tagging for the renderer by using place=town for places where there is no town centre should stop. I still feel that place=municipality can be part of the solution rather than a problem - because things are not so clear and the distinction between purely adminstrative entity and real place may be blurry. I am going to expand on this on my user page shortly. --Alfons234 (talk) 02:52, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- I can’t see how place=municipality could make sense if we agree that admin entities should not be represented with place tags. A municipality is about administration, and where there is a town with the same name, this town should be mapped as a place, but distinctly from the admin entity. —Dieterdreist (talk) 09:51, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
