Comment from Pink Duck
If you're going to batch change tagging nationally without the consent of authoring users based on a 3-year old thread among a few then I suggest you at least make a wiki page documenting your particular preferred key name, as surely not all C roads have been mapped nationally yet?

Hi
Could you show me where your edits to 'official-ref' were consented?
I informed you of my plans. You raised no objection.
My actions make the OSM database more accurate. I plan to post on Talk-GB when I've compiled all the data once completed. -
Comment from Pink Duck
My point was about the lack of a wiki article. I added those references for most of Norfolk in the first instance, and had freedom to chose what I thought was the most sensible key name. I'm not sure how the database is any more accurate now than it was before, you've added nothing of new value other than easing a perceived issue with search/canonicalisation that I've already pointed out isn't a problem elsewhere. My critique of your key choice is in changeset 35989077. Aren't you meant to discuss this sort of mass edit in advance?

i plan to update wiki pages once the tag is agreed upon. I've started a discussion on Talk-GB. There you'll see a list of the various 'C' ref tags. Amalgamating them into one makes the DB more accurate.

Comment from Pink Duck
I'm not quite sure that you understand the meaning of accuracy, as amalgamating has nothing to do with that, but being more specific with the key name potentially does (at the cost of repeating the primary key name and increasing length).

Hi
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/AOP
This OP query highlights 'C' refs on pedestrian, service, residential & track ways (including some polygons). If possible, it would be good if you could check them for potential errors. -
Comment from Pink Duck
They were correct at time of authoring in those less common cases, and there are plenty of instances where the county council has what I consider outdated but legally defined uses of C-road where obviously things moved on, dual carriageways occurred, roads downgraded into paths etc. so they still technically have those references until the council renumbers, which seems to be a never-ending saga of non-happening.

Comment from Pink Duck
It appears you changed official_ref but not source:official_ref, can you complete this please?

Comment from DaveF
Along with amending 'U' class roads, updating the wiki & searching for 'this road is signed' tags, it's on my list of things to do. If you think of anything else, please let me know.
