Hi Peter
The consensus among mappers is that references that are not verifiable on the ground should be put into other tags.
In the case of rights of way we use the prow_ref tag, please could you use this instead.
More specialised renderers do display them, see https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html
If you want to see an example see way/355132221
Cheers Phil

Hi
I am assuming you are trying to tag the Trains to signs?
This is not a name and the name tag should only be used to tag actual names, not as a place to add random information.
Maybe as use a different tag such as direction=Liverpool?
Cheers Phil

Hi, this edit has broken the tagging of this object. The Llangollen railway is preserved and it is incorrect to tag it as a normal railway just to make it appear differently on one particular renderer.
This is what is called 'tagging for the render' which is an absolute no no in OSM.
Please remember that OSM is a geographical database, which can be rendered in many ways.
Cheers Phil

Hi, I have been here and there are definitely no signs. If I have missied something then please point me to some photographic evidence.
In OSM we map what is visible and verifiable on the ground and I am convinced that this does not pass that test.

Hi Jon, thank you for removing that.
To answer your questions firstly the forum gets very little attention in the UK, we are far more active on the talk-gb mailing list https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb.
OSM is a geographical database that can be rendered in many ways. The cycling layer is just a specialized render of OSM data, emphasising those features of interest to cyclists.
OSM data is mostly created by the public, we import very little in the UK and that is mostly boundaries.
The GPS tracks may have comments stating what they are, we essentially upload gpx files. Most of mine are from my gps, occasionally they maybe from OSMand, but that will be car and road stuff.
Routes in OSM are done as relations, a collection of ways, but these should be verifiable i.e. signed on the ground.
For creating my own routes I use graphhopper.com, which allows via points and different modes.

Please do not abuse the name tag, this is Wales and the local language should take priority. If you want to make a map of English names then you can using the name:en,

Hi, not sure if you have been here, and I am assuming that this is an armchair edit, but this is very clearly not a peak as it is on the side of a hill.
Please only map things that actually exist.

Hi, not sure if you have been here, and I am assuming that this is an armchair edit.
Imagery confirms that this a flat area in a campsite, if there was a peak here once it has long been flattened meaning it has no place in OSM.

Please only map things that actually exist.

Hi, not sure if you have been here, and I am assuming that this is an armchair edit, but from my experience this is a pretty flat area. Trains do not climb peaks very well and this is certainly not a peak.
Please only map things that actually exist.

Hi, this edit has gone a bit wrong.

You seem to have created a duplication of existing ways. Please do not do this. There are route planning apps available in OSM and that use is, for example grapphopper.com.

No evidence of a peak

Hi, thank you for your edit however in order for objects to be useful in OSM you need to add tags describing what they are. In this case you are missing building=yes?
Cheers Phil

I hope it also qualifies for tv=no too :)

There is no evidence that this is a peak, its the edge of a ploughed field

69821481

No evidence that this is a named peak (plus obvious spelling mistake)

Vandalism reverted

This is vandalism, I have been here and there is no peak. Trams don't like such things. Reverted
