What means the "Designation" in P2 building preset ? We have now "Name", "Building name" and "Designation" which is very confusing for newcomers (they simply copy/paste the same text 3 times, see this example). And the wiki about the key "designation" is about highways, not buildings. Would not be 'access' more appropriate ? |

That is a bug in Potlatch2. As explained in the wiki, the key This has been filed as a bug: #4231 - In simple mode, the entry for the designation tag needs better explanation For now, just ignore the "Designation" field if you don't want to map rights of way. way <> highway. It may, as in the listed building example I gave, make perfect sense for a building. However, the bug's a valid bug though - people do put rubbish into the designation tag.

The wiki page talks about "legal classification" - although many of the examples on that page are for highways, it doesn't limit itself to those. An example of a building with a legal classification in the designation tag is this one. Whether P2's tag presets should or should not contain something is probably best discussed on trac or the potlatch-dev list rather than here. Certainly where new mappers local to may start tagging inappropriately (e.g. using "name" for something that isn't actually a name, so that it shows up on standard view) I'd send them a "hello-and-welcome-and-by-the-way" mail about it; it would make sense for misuse of designation too. 1
Problem: the bug is reported since 2 months and nothing happens although P2 is the first used editor by many newcomers (especially with the audience the project gets after so many articles/blogs in the media in the past few weeks). I could help to fix such things in JOSM but not in P2.

Actually, the wiki page specifically writes "legal classification of a way" - nothing there mentions use on other objects. I think the example you give is a problematic use of the tag (as it's a totally different kind of designation). Anyway, I've posted my concerns on the trac report linked.
