This page documents tags that were invented by the LINZ Data Import in New Zealand. These tags did not go through the formal tag approval process.

Tags specific to New Zealand

Popular Tags

These tags were coined by the LINZ import, but are now used internationally.

Deprecated Tags

These tags were added by the 2009-2014 import, but are no longer added or maintained:

Count Tag Status

womo=*
womo:fee=*
womo:nz:nr=*
womo:name=*
womo:capacity=*
Seems pointless
outcrop:type=* No good replacement for such a subjective tag

Eradicated Tags

The original import used many tags under the LINZ: namespace, beacuse there was no suitable tag in 2012. These have been replaced with proper OSM tags.
