Hallo… I am completely new to OHM, but I love the concept so much! I’ve tried to add some POIs (cities, thus far) but I have issues with every of them first, I’ve added Butrint [Changeset: 176544 | OpenHistoricalMap] and Corcyra [had to remove link because “new users can only put 2 links in the post”], and they seem to be displayed on some zoom levels, but not on others (for example, on 5mi I see them, on 1mi - no longer; whereas other cities like Brundisium, are displayed on both these scales). But even when they are displayed, names are never displayed. Is it tagging problem, rendering issue, browser related? I use latest FF (haven’t checked in other browsers yet)
Reccopolis is mapped correctly, but Butrint should have name= and not old_name=, other than that I believe it is just a server rendering issue. I also have some edits not showing up currently.
Thanks, Charlie! Hmm I was confused about name because as soon as I’ve added wikidata value, name input turned disabled… So I assumed that it would be rendered based on wikidata statements going forward.
So, the right way to reflect city changing names is to have them joined under relation? and then, all of the individual nodes plus the relation itself will have same wikidata/wikipedia value, just different name/start/end tag values?
You can always go down to the tags and manually change the name when ID disables the fields after adding Wikidata. I think it’s mostly a safety feature from OSM to prevent accidental name changes.
Yes, that’s why iD does that. OSM has seen some high-profile cases where a vandal changed the name of something super prominent, like New York City. The idea is that anything sufficiently important to have a Wikidata item should require a little extra effort to rename. There may come a time when Wikidata’s own coverage of geography becomes so extensive and detailed that this heuristic no longer makes sense.
By the way, if something is part of a chronology relation, the chronology relation itself can have the wiki tags; it isn’t necessary to repeat these tags on each of the chronology’s members.
