Hi,
here you added the tag "mdds:code", a week ago it was "MDDS_Code". Could you change to a common spelling of the key?
Btw, if this is kind of a reference number used by government, I'd consider "ref:mdds" as better.Cheers, Jan

Hi,
first I did not find any tag for the MDDS-code (sort of e goverment code, found in census2011 documents and others), and also only less information for village tagging in india. But then I found a (older) discussion entry https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-in/2012-May/001630.html (from http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/India:Places)
so I changed the tag name. Is ther a better tag or more common used tag for that?
I tag most as "village". It may be changed later, if there is a well defined india tagging scheme for populated places (wiki). But at moment there are often no populated places in the map there, so I add it from available open sources.
Btw. it is often not easy to find the correct spelling. Often you may find 2, 3 or more diffrent english spelling. I try to add all and the "official" from the census book I use for the "name" tag.
