Hi,
you used some new tags on these relations, e.g.
x_bear_creek =NM 25
x_ley =NM 9,10
Could you explain their meaning? Maybe we can find an established tag to replace them?Jan

Thank you so much for reaching out to me. I'm an essentially a self-taught rookie and was looking to speak to a mapper I know on Thursday and tags was to be among the topics I would ask about.
CDT is Continental Divide Trail. Hikers who traverse the trail often use one or both of two major paper map resources: Jonathan Ley and Bear Creek Survey mapsets. Both mapsets that are carried by hikers are organized by state. NM, New Mexico in this case. So as I create relations I include at least a roughly accurate reference to the specific maps where this relation would be located. So the numbers.
A website called Waymarked Trails displays the tags when you select a trail or segment of a trail. I like that the name of the trail is the first tag, but that is an alphabetical accident. So to put these tag's information at the end of the list I started them with x_.
One of my questions I was going to put to my mapper friend was what it might take to change the tag name and was there any automated process that would not lose the data.
Thanks again for your input and I welcome any advice you may to provide.

Hi Jeff,
please don't invent tags targeted at how a special (albeit very nice) website displays stuff. If I understand right, these numbers are a reference number used in some common hiking guide?
It's not really common to add references to other works, but it might be useful.Before adding this information, please make sure that it is not copyrighted in any form!
If you add it, please use a standard tag like ref:XXX where XXX is some common, short suffix to identify where this ref comes from (BCS, Ley - maybe). To help others use this information, you should consider adding a short page to the OSM Wiki to describe it. -

Jan,
Thanks. For the moment I have simply removed the tags (X_bear_creek and x_ley). Your idea of using ref:xxx sounds like it will work for me. In the meantime I am leaving the information out and may come back to it later.
Thanks again.
Jeff
