Under 'Blinkbonny Wood' by the track is a small disused quarry of a type that is everywhere round here (there is another a short way further south west along the track, just before Gala Law). The Wiki suggests disused:landuse=quarry. Using JOSM how do you enter that in the 'Add Value?' dialog box? I have put disused:landuse in the 'please select a key' and 'quarry' in the 'please select a value'. Is this the right way to do it? The Wiki is not very helpful in this respect. Nothing is displaying in OSM.

If the quarry is disused, but still clearly visible (blocks of rock, no vegetation, maybe old machinery standing around), I would tag it as a normal quarry and add a note.

IMHO, landuse does not have anything to do with the current status of a business. As long as no new landuse is assigned, or it gets so destroyed that it would not be useable as a quarry (then it is maybe a brownfield?), it is still a quarry after all.

How do you add a note? These historical quarries are generally very small and unused for years, but are a significant feature for navigation when walking etc.

note= (e.g.) Quarry disused since 2006

i'd tag it landuse=quarry and disused=yes disused:landuse=quarry, like this one http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/37434127 .

note that according to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:disused, disused=yes is no longer recommended. disused:landuse=quarry would be the recommended way to tag

As I said... disused:landuse=quarry. Which returns us to my original question.

(21 Mar '13, 14:13) digby

Using JOSM as I've already described in the question the tag ends up as disused:landuse: quarry, whereas in your example and on the wiki it's disused:landuse=quarry. How to end up with the latter is part of the question.

To clarify, what's being suggested here currently is this:

Hmm. Although I'm using a mac so the dialog looks different, that is what I am entering. I wonder why mine ends up with the colon instead of the equals
