Post #3701237

So, a mapper who mapped several landuses in my area ("Digitising" as they wrote in the changesets), they attached every single landuse not only to every highway, but also to administrative boundaries. This causes a hella more work for me trying to fix their mistakes, because now I have to check if they accidentally changed the geometry of the boundaries. I don't want to revert their changesets, because they did a good job by adding several missing landuses, even though they did it wrong... Also, I can't simply detach the landuses from the roads and the waterways, I have to adjust them to their proper outlines. They have been already notified for their mistake, although it's kinda demoralising to try and fix all that. It will take a lot of time to do that carefully. #OpenStreetMap

    @jimkats@infosec.exchange I'm now considering putting in a change request to iD to make admin boundaries non-stick, i.e. someone would have to deliberately join nodes to it rather than it being automatic.

    @jimkats@infosec.exchange If a bit of landuse is going to be attached to existing features I'd rather it was done using a multi-polygon so that there are no overlapping ways that are a pain to select.
