Hi, I saw that there are 81 boundaries with a wrong name here in Brazil (they have the word "Microregião" while the correct should be "Microrregião", with 2 R) Is there an easy way to fix them instead editing one by one? asked 29 Oct '12, 19:07  naoliv |

Just to download some specific elements in a quite big area, have a look at the OverpassAPI server. There is a description at the OSM wiki, do a search there. Read and try all examples. Come back here and add a comment if you get stuck. Also search this FAQ site for overpassapi to get some hints. answered 31 Oct '12, 17:50  stephan75 |
The "r" function in potlatch2 will copy tags from last selected way to next selected way. To use it just press r and the last tags are copied to current selection. It can save some typing. answered 29 Oct '12, 20:04  andy mackey |
With JOSM I can go to File → Download from OSM… → Areas around places, search for one of the areas and try to download, one by one. Then after everything downloaded I can do a search, select everything with the wrong word and fix the name. But it isn't an automated task nor I can download the majority of the boundaries (since the area is too large).
Is there something more magical like "Download every boundary with 'foo' in its name"?
