“what's the source of this name (Best Life Road)?”

Seems that the dubious name was added in v7, changeset/56449899 , and was merely modified in this set.

Only just noticed that this set also added tagging.

collection_times uses a specific syntax, the same as for opening_hours (details in the wiki). This is in order for it to be machine-readable (for software auto-magic).

This is more of an FYI now, since I remedied it during my survey: see changeset/117395574

Only a few million to go 😄.

“Add missing benches (Europe)”

😮?! all of them?! 🤯🥳

source=Joe ?

“Change Wikimedia flag URLs of European states to 'https'”

Why?

Ultimately you're addressing a client-side problem by altering data. That's what HSTS and HTTPS Everywhere are for. The /^https/ is a pseudo-protocol, after all. /^http[^s]/ is more robust & future-proof (when encryption is done using the default port, over the same original connection, to preserve more port numbers (closer to 2¹⁶ for other uses (instead of 2⁸, because each protocol demands 2)).
Besides, not all User-Agents need encryption (bots).

You're also defeating caching for a resource which is ideal for caching.

So, I don't see anything being gained by this changeset.

Worse, the bbox is nebulous. Would've been much better to change each nation individually. That would enable separate discussions.

It also would've been better to split your changes into different sets per island.

Source?

What was the rationale for changing way/617367554 ?

From memory of last time I was at Portelet, while it's certainly tidal, it's still more of a beach than natural=sand (based on reading the wiki). I recall being able to walk to the islet at low-tide.
Instead, natural=shoal might be a better fit.

Seems that a survey would be good.

Ah, I didn't even think of the possibility of marking it as abandoned. Good idea 👍.

Though, from reading the wiki & querying TagInfo, abandoned=highway (especially combined with highway=*) is uncommon (~200 instances) compared to abandoned:highway=* (~50,000 instances).

Though, I'm unfamiliar, having not tagged anything as abandoned, before.

I presume there's a good reason for favouring abandoned=highway(?)

Thanks for the pointer to that history review tool. Didn't know about that one 🙂.

For future (easier) navigation: changeset/116948247

👍
I'll take a look at that changeset shortly.

Glad to help. Thanks for giving my island some much needed attention. There's only a few locals contributing, and a vast amount yet to do.
