Are you using a script for this vandalism? Please reverse it so that it restores the standard and documented tags. Thanks.

I've now subscribed to talk-gb, but won't be able to read until next week (I don't have email access here, only Web).

(apologies if I'm stating the bleeding obvious but) perhaps https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2018-August/thread.html#21690 or http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/Great-Britain-f5372682.html would help?

I *think* I've subscribed, but haven't received any messages yet. I'd really like to find out what caused all this damage...

Thanks, SomeoneElse. It sounds like this whole thing is about *rendering*? If there's a move to not rendering refs, then isn't the right thing to change your renderer, rather than corrupting the whole database to fit the rendering? That's totally against the "don't tag for the renderer" principle.

Comment from DaveF
The expression is 'don't tag *incorrectly* to suit the renderer'. All tags are to the benefit of them otherwise it would be just black lines & dots.
Putting the refs for certain classes of roads gives the option to render. As so few C, U refs etc are displayed on signs & only use internally of an authority it's felt it would be clearer to hide them on the main map. As a contributor of long standing you will be aware of the many rendering changes which have occurred over the years.

@tms13 For info, you should at least have had https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2018-August/021820.html delivered to your mailbox if you're subscribed to the list.

@tms13. If you send an email to talk-GB@openstreetmap.org explaining your PoV/concerns you will receive replies which you should be able to see.
