I see you've been removing names from my hard work identifying all the types of WW2 Bunkers on Jersey. Can I ask why? From previous discussion it seems you're heavily focussed on getting the database "correct", but this is spoiling the usefullness of the standard website map. I have been trying to make the normal map informative for 99% of users, but if you remove the bunker types from how I've named them, this data will not be seen by the majority of users. What are we trying to achieve here? Users don't browse the database, they look at the map!!!

Partial apologies, if you've only touched the ones named "bunker", as you've undone less of my work than I initially thought. But I still maintain that explorers using the map would be interested to see that the unspecified bunkers are indeed bunkers, as there's no other indication on the website map.

Hi, moving the bunker information from the name field to the specific tag seemed to be improving the level of information, not 'undoing your work'. However, I did not realise that the standard OSM map doesn't render military=bunker. Ideally we should get this functionality added to the standard renderer, but as a pragmatic measure it might be better to include both the name and the military tagging on bunkers at present. I think there are 10 bunkers I have retagged. There is quite a detailed tagging scheme for bunkers, gun emplacements and the like and it seems odd that so much trouble should have been gone to to enable capture of such information without any consideration about how it should be displayed.

Thanks for your reply. If we can just leave things as they are for now, please, as that seems easier and best all around! Cheers
