`building=apartments` is an apartment building. However `residential=apartments` is an apartment complex that's basically defined for multi-building housing estates.

142682075

It is obviously meant for `landuse=residential` + `residential=` ....

142682075

Why changing `=apartments` to `=residential` ?

Please don't draw vehicle path curves. This is unrealistic, and needless complication. Follow the kerb line only.

142587270

Please don't use `residential=apartments` for single buildings. It's defined for housing estates.

142579558

Please don't use `=construction`. The road is built, and not destroyed.

2. Please don't add `wiki*=` to multiple objects. It should be unique.

Please don't add `shop=mall` to individual buildings of a mall. This is duplicating.

I'm not "telling you what to do". It's a notification that you can ignore if you wish. Don't complain when I change it back that is.

Please don't add descriptor labels to `name=` . It is for proper names only. Use `description:en=` + `description:zh=` .

`bridge=covered` could be used. It means fully enclosed. The namesake type can be indicated with `bridge:material=wood` . Eg `=viaduct` doesn't have to be steel or concrete. As long as it has many spans.
`covered=yes` doesn't have this meaning. It's not very `indoor=yes` either.

142074857

Yes there is. `substance=` is widely used and supported. Using `pumping_station=` prevents it from being used for other purposes.
You are the one changing it meaninglessly. I'm telling you why not to. There's no "rules". Doing something "wrong" is not the only reason for receiving comments.
Wiki is not for personal opinions either.
And you haven't considered `pipeline=substation`.

142074857

I haven't added `pipeline=substation` . `substance=` is used with it.

142415759

Please use `abandoned:highway=path` to avoid others re-adding it again. It's still shown on other maps.

142074857

Originally it is worded as "It is better to use the name of the substance transported with the key substance=*" osm.wiki/w/index.php?title=Tag:man_made=pumping_station&oldid=1881857

142074857

`substance=` is general standard used for all features, and "approved" formally. There are only 3.5k `pumping_station=` .

142074857

The wiki is not a bible. It's obviously self-conflicting to say those are "The activity in which the station is involved". What is the `=water` or `=gas` used for? Drinking and cooking, electricity generation, or heating? "The actual substance processed" is a better definition, and that's using `substance=` already.

142074857

Please don't change `substance=` to `pumping_station=` . This is a meaningless duplicate. man_made=pumping_station#Tags_used_in_combination

142305475

`landuse=` is about the use. Not zoning or laws.

142339599

`=headrace` is used for hydropower only. It's not applicable.
