Clean up picnic_site?

[nickidlugash]

Picnic sites should be tagged tourism=picnic_site. We pull features with this tag into the Streets poi layer.

There are a small number tagged amenity=picnic_site and leisure=picnic_site. Can we look into cleaning these up? I think these should all be tourism=picnic_site.

@nickidlugash
Based on tourism=picnic_site, it is incorrect to use amenity=picnic_site and leisure=picnic_site.

The number is not too high so one member from BLR can hit this easily. @jinalfoflia will be knocking this out 👊 (we can scale up if needed).

Next action-

• @jinalfoflia to remove amenity=picnic_site and leisure=picnic_site, and add tourism=picnic_site
• @jinalfoflia to post a OSM diary post once the task is completed.

@pratikyadav @jinalfoflia Before cleaning up, lets announce this on the diary as it will be a mechanized edit that will take just a couple of minutes. If any of the edits were less than a year old, lets also message the user with a link to the diary so that they have a heads up before we touch their work.

@planemad 👍 Will write a diary before jumping onto the task.

Today I worked on cleaning up the tags amenity=picnic_site & leisure=picnic_site and replaced them with tourism=picnic_site tag. Here are the changesets related to the changes made on OSM.

Subject: Re-tagging picnic sites with tourism=picnic_site tag

Hi,

I'll be changing the tag from amenity=picnic_site to tourism=picnic_site tag as per this wiki, to find more information on this you can refer this diary entry.

This is the node that I have changed the tag for - https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3353080237/history

Thank you!

Best,

Jinal Foflia

Some pain points:

• It is a good idea to send a message to user intimating them about the change, but the process becomes tedious after a point of time. Since this was small number it could be managed. For bigger edits it would be a great idea to have a way in which it can be communicated.

Statistics

I spent half a day doing this clean-up. A good amount of time was spent in communicating the users with the change made to their edits. These are the number of nodes added by me.
