href="/wiki/Tags" title="Tags">tags</a></b> for features and properties. The <a href="#Non_proposed_features">other ways</a> are often undocumented. The proposal process was designed as a mechanism to document that a rough consensus exists within the community on how to model and tag a feature that previously had no established tagging. The open voting process acts as supporting evidence that the proposal author has adequately reflected feedback from interested parties and meaningfully addressed objections posed. The outcome of a proposal vote is a change in documentation on the wiki. </p><p>The proposal process usually involves other mappers reviewing what has been proposed - so some issues may be caught before a tagging scheme is widely used. </p><p>As a documentation change, an approved proposal is not binding on any mapper, software developer, or data consumer. However, tagging backed by an approved proposal is usually regarded as having survived a level of community vetting and scrutiny, and thus carries more weight when compared to alternative methods of mapping a feature. OpenStreetMap does not restrict mapping to tagging schemes backed by an approved proposal -- you can still use <a href="/wiki/Any_tags_you_like" title="Any tags you like">any tags you like</a>. Nonetheless, there is benefit to mappers and data consumers alike in agreeing on a common data model and corresponding tags by reducing conflict between mappers, edit wars, and tagging disputes. </p><p>As a non-binding documentation change, <b>the outcome of a proposal vote does not compel a change in tools which use and generate OSM data</b>, such as the <a href="/wiki/Standard_tile_layer" class="mw-redirect" title="Standard tile layer">standard tile layer</a> renderings or <a href="/wiki/Editor" class="mw-redirect" title="Editor">editor</a> <a href="/wiki/Preset" title="Preset">presets</a>. An approved proposal will not be automatically rendered or added to presets; this is at the discretion of the developers and maintainers of those tools. Also, a vote result is <b>never</b> permission for large-scale re-tagging of existing objects. See <a href="/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct" title="Automated Edits code of conduct">automated Edits code of conduct</a> for more about this topic. </p><p>This page is designed to assist anyone considering putting forward a tag <a href="/wiki/Proposal" title="Proposal">proposal</a>, with the aim of speeding the tag proposing process. Like the proposal process itself, it attempts to describe the rough consensus that has accumulated over the years over the best ways to assess and document community consensus on mapping and tagging. It is not a set of absolute rules, but rather a helpful guide for community members. </p> <div id="toc" class="toc" role="navigation" aria-labelledby="mw-toc-heading"><input type="checkbox"

Some tips for success include: </p> <ul><li>Research whether tagging for this feature (or similar) has been discussed before, by searching the <a href="/wiki/Mailing_lists#Search_the_mailing_lists" title="Mailing lists">mailing lists</a> or other forums. Consider what objections or concerns were raised in those discussions, and adjust your proposal if necessary to satisfy the concerns. It may not be possible to please everyone, but you will have the best chance of success if you make the effort to address as many concerns as possible. Provide links to these discussions in the "External Discussions" section; it shows that you have done your homework and are aware of past discussions that may have occurred.</li> <li>Consider asking a trusted colleague or two in the community to review your proposal. Private dialogue before the Request For Comments (RFC) is extremely helpful in identifying and fixing problems. If the tagging for this feature was discussed on the mailing list in the past, consider a sending private email asking for feedback from one or more of the participants in that discussion. They may have expertise in that area, and the private dialogue will not only make your proposal stronger, but will help you build rapport with the active members of the tagging community.</li> <li>If you are not a native speaker of British English, be sure to research what the thing you are describing is called in the British vernacular. It can be helpful to find UK-based web sites that discuss the topic in order to understand how it is phrased and used.</li> <li>Research similar tagging schemes in order to ensure that your proposed tagging is consistent with other similar features and usages, and include those comparisons in the "rationale" section of the proposal.</li> <li>Assume that the reader is not an expert in the topic or in the associated tagging. Give a brief introduction suitable for non-experts that allows them to understand the feature being described, the state of existing (inadequate) tagging, and how your proposal fills that gap. Do not assume prior knowledge, especially when proposing additions or changes to complex tagging schemes.</li> <li>You should weigh potential benefits of the proposal with its potential downsides. This is especially important if your proposal attempts to deprecate, rename, or change the meaning of already existing tags (as processes to do so are much more complex and time involving - so in those cases one should invest extra time to suggest specific plans on how to handle those existing tags).

The main benefit of the proposal process is to have your idea reviewed by a wide variety of people from different regions and experiences, whose mapping challenges may be sharply different from your own. This process increases the likelihood that an approved tag is appropriate for the variety of situations that exist in the world. </p><p>If you find that you're not getting much response from the community, it's always appropriate to make additional posts or messages soliciting feedback, as well as consulting with the community in other channels or forums. Community feedback is important! While you don't need to satisfy every single commenter, be sure that you understand the concerns posed by the community and that their concerns are addressed before moving ahead with your proposal. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Respond">Respond</span></h3> <p>Look through comments that arise from the mailing lists, chats, forums, and the proposal Wiki Talk page. </p><p>When a discussion in a section created by another user on the proposal's Talk page is considered "resolved", you can add the <a href="/wiki/Template:Resolved" title="Template:Resolved"><code>{{Resolved|1=message}}</code></a> Template directly below the section heading with an included message. </p><p>Adjust, even if it means changing key parts or tags, and continue to build a strong proposal according to community feedback so that it has a good chance of becoming popular with the voting and last but not least the mapping community. </p><p>Note that it is not necessary to implement all suggestion and requests. While many will be useful, it is possible to receive recommendations contradictory with each other, some can be also misguided. </p><p>If there are many changes to the proposal, it may be a good idea to document them in a timeline in a separate section called <code>Changes</code> for reference. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Voting">Voting</span></h2> <p><i>You still have to be subscribed to the Tagging mailing list for these steps.</i> </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Requirements_before">Requirements before</span></h3> <p>Make sure your proposal meets these requirements before initiating voting. </p> <ul><li>At least two weeks have passed since start of a RFC.</li> <li>All discussions have been resolved on the Talk page.</li> <li>All major <b>and minor</b> disagreements about the proposal have been resolved. <br />Remember, the community is voting on <b>all</b> parts of your proposal.
