As in the other cases, I'm talking about replacing highway=path + many permissions with simply highway=footway.

Yes. highway=footway is for people only, highway=path is for people, bikes, and sometimes horses.

access=no means no one can access it.

Hi, I am talking about redundant access=*, foot=*, etc, in many of your changes. Please see this visual history viewer for clarity: https://aleung.github.io/osm-visual-history/#/way/538975712

Hi Moovit Team and thank you for replying. I believe you've added redundant permission tags throughout the years. The problem is not the addition of a pathway, it's the access tags. For instance, way/541053309, it has access=no, foot=yes, highway=path.
.
If it's only for pedestrians, the convention is that highway=footway is enough, without additional access tags. If it's for people, bikes, and perhaps horses, highway=path should be enough, without additional permissions. The additional access tags are used less commonly for fine-graining. Please see the Israel-specific guidelines[1] and the pretty similar global guidelines[2]
.

[2] access=*
.
Can you confirm it's a normal footway? And would you mind if I retag all footways tagged in this fashion by you, and change them to highway=footway?

Editor seems to be adding personal "orders" or something like that.

شكرا

Please avoid adding personal places to the map. OpenStreetMap is a public map. If you want to save personal things, use the Maps.Me bookmark feature. Map edits should contain public points of interest only. Bad edits were reverted.

I sent the following "support request" from their site, in case they're somehow missing this:
.
Hello, your OpenStreetMap editing account, "Moovit Team", is not behaving according to community standards. Since 2014, several users asked questions about many different edits, and there was never a single response from the "Moovit Team" account. OSM is a community where communication is expected.
.
Recently, "Moovit Team" was soft-blocked as a warning, but certain strange edits continued, and the warning was apparently ignored. No communication has been made from "Moovit Team" yet.
.
Please join in the discussion at this changeset: changeset/53397135, and please read the now expired soft-block message: osm.org/user_blocks/1620. For the record, the Moovit Team account profile can be found here: @Moovit%20Team.
.
Thanks in advance.

Specifically, this way was edited after the block: way/541053309

53842919

It seems you chose not to respond to the questions even after the soft block, and you continue to add weird footway permissions. Please communicate and discuss your edits before editing any further footway or path permissions.

53397135

For instance, this is totally confusing: changeset/53842919 , why not just use highway=footway?

53397135

No, that's a generic description I've seen earlier too. And the post-block permissions still look weird and out of place with the normal way we tag footways or paths. The soft block had no effect whatsoever on behavior or communication as of now.

53836320

Sorry - seems you fixed this in later edits. Thanks!

53836320

It looks like a building in Aaerial. Maybe building=retail?

53835857

Sorry, second last URL is: landuse=retail

53835857

Possible tags: If it's a building with mainly shops: building=retail
.
If it's a mall: shop=mall
.
If it's a mixture of offices and shops: building=commercial
.
If it's actually an entire area used for shopping or for offices and not just one building, use building=retail or landuse=commercial for the area

53836197

I would personally keep the "name" as the most commonly used name, regardless.

53836197

There are several ways to do this. I am not entirely sure which one is best, or if there's even an agreement on which one is best. See: name=*
.
Option 1: name=Garden..., alt_name=wasfi....
.
Option 2: name=Garden..., official_name=wasfi.... (undocumented for non countries but makes sense)
.
Option 3: name=wasfi..., loc_name=garden street.
